Real-time reservoir fluid characterization technology

摘要

Baker Hughes has introduced the next generation of its Reservoir Characterization explorer (RCX) and In-situ Fluids explorer (IFX) formation testing services. Used jointly, these services accurately characterize fluid properties in real time-eliminating the need for extensive and time-consuming analyses. Combined with other formation evaluation techniques, they provide critical information about a reservoir's commercial viability. The RCX service is designed for enhanced reliability in challenging high-pressure, high-temperature wells. Its high-capacity pumps also improve operations in highly overbalanced wells.
