Description
With over 50 years of experience helping major energy companies maximise recovery worldwide and as recognised world leaders in Formation Damage analysis, Premier Corex offers this lab tour and workshop as a unique, practical opportunity for delegates to gain insight into a fully operational core and fluid laboratory.
Participants will observe and explore key Formation Damage Analysis and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR/IOR) analytical techniques and strategies illustrating how understanding reservoir properties can mitigate formation damage, optimise recovery and enhance operational efficiency.
The session is discussion-focused, allowing attendees to ask questions, explore technical challenges and take away knowledge of practical, actionable strategies. Attendees can gain hands-on insights through demonstrations and discussions, offering a rare opportunity to see industry-standard laboratory practices in action.
