Challenge: Measure pore pressure to quantify
permeability and extract reservoir fluid for identification from marginal,
thinly laminated sands where conventional probe-type tools have been
unsuccessful
Solution: Deploy the Saturn 3D radial probe
with its large, circumferential surface flow area that makes it possible to
induce and sustain flow in low-mobility formations for pressure testing and
fluid acquisition
Results: Obtained valid pressure measurements
in submillidarcy formations and collected samples for fluid identification from
zones down to 0.36-mD permeability to add to the wells net pay
