Viscosity Sensor Helps Optimise Oil Extraction

Cambridge Viscosity has developed an adaptor to allow its high-pressure viscosity sensor to be utilised in flow conditions, to better understand rock permeability under dynamic fluid conditions. This enables researchers to track oil extraction effectiveness in conditions of varying reservoir fluid mixtures found in target oil fields and potential flow-improving additive packages. This continuous flow adapter incorporates an inlet/outlet manifold that attaches to the top of Cambridge's SPL-440 sensor.

Fluid is directed through the coaxial manifold directly in and out of the SPL-440 sensor to analyse viscosity under flow conditions, and then into the core sample for permeability analysis. According to Cambridge, its continuous flow high-pressure viscometer enables the industry to gather new perspectives on the efficacy of various additives to optimise oil extraction. The adaptor is available as an add-on device and does not change the measurement quality of the viscosity sensor itself.
