RPTA-200 WELL BORE CONDITIONS RETURN PERMEABILITY TEST APPARATUS is a high
pressure, high temperature development of the 100 series designed specifically for the evaluation of
drilling mud and mud additives and their affect on reservoir rock samples. A re-designed layout
improves operator access to the core holder, accumulators allowing for increased efficiency of
operation.

The system allows a number of tests to be conducted
including liquid permeability, return permeability; mud
lift-off, leak-off rates and the evaluation mud additives at
reservoir temperature and pressure. A custom
reciprocating mud pump allows mud to be re-circulated
across the upper end face of the core sample, at a con
trolled shear rate, to simulate filtrate build up and to allow
the evaluation of leak off rates. Differential pressure
transducers measure the pressure drop across the core
material allowing investigation of the depth of invasion of
the filtrate and a PC linked digital balance monitors the
leak-off rate. The core holder in encapsulated in a custom
designed heating jacket and all inlet lines are fitted with
block heaters allowing the accumulators to be kept at
ambient conditions. Allowing easy cleaning and loading of
the accumulators to maximize the number of fluids
evaluated daily.

With the addition of extra fluid accumulators the system can be used to evaluate non-acid clean-up
treatments. Whilst with the optional construction of wetted parts in Monel allows the evaluation of
non-inhibited acids.

Scope of Supply:

Fluid delivery system: HPLC Pump System is
capable of 10cc/min to a maximum pressure of
6,000 psig. To obtain higher flow rates up to 25
cc/min requires an additional, interchangeable
head, which lowers the maximum pressure to
2,500 psig.
Four Accumulators Capacity 1,000 cc, Pressure
Rating 10,000psi,
Core Holder PPCH400 see below 1.5-inch
diameter.
Two Temperature Controllers
Two Back Pressure Regulators
Pressure Measurement System consisting of: Two
High Accuracy Transducers 0-7,500 psi, 0.05%

PPCH-400 PPCH PRESSURE PORTED HASSLER COREHOLDER (1.5 inch Diameter)
316SS body with Viton sleeves and seals. 10,000psig confining pressure and 7,500psig pore pressure,
with a maximum circulating pressure of 8,000 psig. Maximum temperature is 300 Deg. F. with Viton
seals and sleeve, sample diameter is 1.5 inches and up to 10 inches in length. Two pressure ports are
incorporated for determination of the invasion profile. The core holder is provided with a 3-ported
dynamic flow by head, which allows the mud fluid or completion fluids to be flowed parallel across
the face of the core sample allowing for the establishment of a mud filter cake simulating well bore
conditions. The head also allows for the flow of fluid through the sample for return permeability tests.

Options:

Monel wetted parts for use with non-inhibited acids

Mixing Unit - MU100 mixing module complete with fluid reservoirs, paddle stirrer, mixing pump,
high pressure mud/completion fluid pump, shear loop, heated formation simulator and temperature
controller.

Pipe Rheometer - comprising 4 varying diameter tubing with digital mass flow meter, and gage and
differential pressure transducer array. Complete with oil bath heating system to maintain sytem
temperature.

Pump Options

Quizix QX6000 allows continuous flow pulse free flow with precision control of pressure, flow rate
and volume; can operate in constant pressure or constant flow rate mode.

Isco FDS dual pump systems allows continuous flow pulse free flow with precision control of
pressure, flow rate and volume can operate in constant pressure or constant flow rate mode.

FDS- 260D pump system allows for pulse free flow of fluids and improved accuracy in flow
determinations. Allows pulse free flow rates of up to 100 cc/min min at pore pressures of up
to 7,5000 psig. Pump control and data acquisition features can be integrated into the system
operating software.
