The XHT formation tester acquires formation pressures with variable pretest volumes and drawdown rates enabling the user to take an unlimited number of tests with full control of each individual test.
The XHT tool allows the flow of fluids from the reservoir using a superiorly designed flow control pump, with pumping rates ranging from 0.5 to 25 cc/sec and pump pressure differential of up to 10,000 psi. The high-horsepower pump allows the formation fluid to be pumped for extended periods of time enabling faster cleanup and PVT sampling into the 450-cc PVT sample chambers, which can be configured for either zero-shock standard PVT and N2 compensated.
This may operate simultaneously or individually, allowing fluid intake redundancy and pressure anisotropy detection.
Great for laminated low-permeability reservoirs with a greater fluid flow area for both pressure measurements and faster fluid sampling.
