Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure Analysis

The Australian School of Petroleum (ASP) offers rapid, state of the art measurement of the capillary pressure and pore network characteristics of reservoirs, cap-rocks, fault seals and intra-formation seals.

ASP Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure Analysis offers:

  • Injection and withdrawal data in spreadsheet form
  • High pressure porosimetry (to 60,000 psi)
  • Pore Network Characterisation
  • Saturation height function
  • Free-water level determination
  • Calculation or recovery efficiency
  • Data conversion to reservoir conditions
  • Directional injection with user-defined pressure tables
  • Empirical evaluation of cuttings to core correlation factor
  • Threshold pressure determination for seal evaluation
  • Integration with SEM sample characterisation

Non-Petroleum MICP Applications

  • Pore structure for pharmaceuticals and ceramics
  • Filter characterisation for the waste disposal industry
  • Artificial membrane characterisation for engineering geology
