AGE standard pneumatic wireline packer test equipment is available to suit NQ, HQ and PQ sized cored holes, and can be configured to single or straddle configuration to test formation permeability (transmissivity) in large or more specific zones.
Single Pneumatic Wireline Packer Test Equipment is designed for testing cored holes whilst drilling progresses to greater depths. The pneumatic system is suitable for testing cored holes to a total depth of 700m. Below this depth, Hydraulic (SWiPS) Permeability Packer Test Equipment must be used.
When a Lugeon test zone of interest is identified in the retrieved core sample, the drill rods are moved back a suitable distance such that the deployed permeability test packer equipment can be inflated above the zone of interest. Once inflated (using the Nitrogen gas supply), permeability testing can commence by injection of water at varying pressures and recording correspondent flow rates for analysis. Injection pressure can be controlled via a bypass system on the injection flowmeter board, supplied as part of the standard equipment.
AGE Pneumatic Wireline Packer Test Equipment is available for hire or sale and, if required, a suitably trained operator can assist with operations or training of your on-site staff.
Straddle Pneumatic Wireline Packer Test Equipment is designed for testing specific zones of cored holes, once drilling to total depth is complete. The pneumatic system is suitable for testing cored holes to a total depth of 700m. Below this depth, Hydraulic (SWiPS) Permeability Packer Test Equipment must be used.
When a permeability zone of interest is identified in the retrieved core sample, the drill rods are moved back a suitable distance such that the deployed packer equipment can be inflated straddling the zone of interest. Once inflated (using the Nitrogen gas supply), transmissivity testing can commence by injection of water at varying pressures and recording correspondent flow rates for analysis. Injection pressure can be controlled via a bypass system on the injection flowmeter board, supplied as part of the standard equipment.
AGE Pneumatic Wireline Packer Test Equipment is available for hire or sale and, if required, a suitably trained operator can assist with operations or the training of on-site staff.
