Understand the fluid contents to understand your reservoir

Determining how fluid behaves in the reservoir requires collecting data at reservoir conditions. Our broad range of industry-leading products and services makes it possible to efficiently accomplish downhole pressure measurement and representative fluid analysis and sampling in what are challenging environments for conventional technology: low-permeability or unconsolidated formations, heavy oil, and rugose boreholes.

Formation evaluation sampling

Without formation testing to acquire pressure and fluid measurements and samples, you cannot fully characterize your reservoir and maximize production.
