ROC Lab Performance Evaluation
Core Laboratories continues to be at the forefront of perforating technology and developed an API RP-19B Section IV perforating flow laboratory, the Reservoir Optimized Completions Lab (ROC Lab). In conjunction with industry-leading Core Lab technologies for formation, core, and fluid analysis, ROC Lab goes beyond traditional Section IV testing. With full ultra-high pressure and high-temperature capabilities, ROC Lab can reproduce real-world reservoir conditions, providing you with the data you need to design and optimize your well performance. Our ROC Lab engineers can help you maximize productivity and value from your reservoir.
Testing Capabilities:
- Mud cell for replicating drilling damage/fluid invasion zone
- On-site CT allows for additional in-process scans for flow and clean-up analysis
- Micro CT scanning for further damage analysis
- Multi-casing string test setups
