WORKFLOW FOR RESATURATION AND ANALYSIS OF UNCONVENTIONAL CORE SAMPLES

摘要

A method for testing an unconventional core sample is provided. The method involves loading the unconventional core sample into a sample holder and introducing fluid into the sample holder at an elevated pressure such that fluid is injected into the internal pore space of the unconventional core sample in order to resaturate the unconventional core sample with the fluid, wherein the fluid is selected from the group including a hydrocarbon fluid and a water-based formation fluid. An apparatus and a system used in combination with the method are also provided.
