CO2 SOLVENT CORE CLEANER (CSC 70)

The core Cleaner is a device for cleaning crude oil, drilling mud liquids, and water from a single

piece of whole core or from a batch of core plug samples. The principle consists of filling the

gas filled space in the core with solvent (e.g. toluene) by surrounding the core with a suitable

solvent containing dissolved CO2 gas and applying sufficient hydraulic pressure. The solvent

mixes with oil in the core and subsequent depressurizing to atmospheric pressure removes

residual oil from the core. A number of repeated cycles are required to clean the core of

hydrocarbons.

The apparatus fits into a standard size floor hood. The cleaning chamber is a pressure vessel

heated electrically with a two-kilowatt, 220-volt heater enclosed in an explosion proof housing.

The solvent is pumped from an onboard supply tank to the cleaning vessel with a high pressure

pump. A cyclone separator with a stainless steel-packed, water-cooled after-cooler is provided

to separate the CO2 and the used hot solvent when the vessel is drained. The used toluene drains

into an explosion proof electric still where it is recovered and delivered back to the clean

solvent supply. The still operation is automatic. The process controls are housed in a non-

explosion proof box intended to be mounted outside of the hood.

FEATURES

Vessel diameter: Model 1:4.6” (118 mm) - Model 2: 5.2” (134 mm)

Vessel length Model 1:10.7” (274 mm) - Model 2: 27” (660 mm)

SOXHLET EXTRACTOR

The soxhlet distillation extraction method is used to dissolve and extract oil and brine from rock

core sample by using solvents. The cleanliness of the sample is determined from the color of the

solvent that siphons periodically from the extractor which must be clear. The samples are

placed in the extractor and cleaned by refluxing solvent. The solvent is heated and vaporized in

boiling flasks and cooled at the top by condenser. The cooled solvent liquid falls into the sample

chamber. The cleaned solvent fills the chamber and soaks the core sample. When the chamber is

full, the dirty solvent which was used to clean the core siphons back into the boiling flask and is

redistilled again The apparatus consists of a distillation/extraction glassware unit and a heating

mantle with thermostatic controller. The glassware is composed of boiling flask, soxhlet

extractor and condenser. A flexible plastic tubing is also used to connect the condenser to the

water cooling unit. All these devices are mounted on a mounting rack.

FLOW THROUGH CORE CLEANER

The apparatus is a rapid and efficient core cleaning system based on controlled sequential

solvent displacement under moderate pressure. Extraction of hydrocarbons and salts from

reservoir rocks is achieved by injecting one or more solvents into the core sample under

RECOVERY STILL FOR SOLVENT

The recovery still is designed to reclaim clean solvent from dirty solvent containing a mixture of

crude oil and solvent. The recovery process is based on fractional distillation by boiling point

temperature difference between the crude oil and the solvent. The apparatus is explosion proof

and should be installed away from any area of hazardous atmosphere. It consists mainly of (a)

an insulated boiler tank equipped with heaters located at the bottom and (b) a condenser using

house water. The recovered solvent is evacuated into a container whereas the dirty toluene is

transferred manually into the tank. The plastic bag located in the tank in which the dirty solvent

is poured permits to facilitate the evacuation of sludge deposit after the recovery process.

DEAN STARK EXTRACTOR

The dean stark extractor is used to determine fluid saturation of core samples. The sample is

first weighed and then introduced into the dean stark extractor. The water fraction is vaporized

by boiling solvent, condensed and then collected in a calibrated receiver. Vaporized solvent also

condenses, soaks the sample, and extracts the oil. The sample is then oven dried and weighed.

The oil content is determined by gravimetric difference while the water content is

volumetrically measured by the receiving tube. The apparatus consists of a

distillation/extraction glassware unit and a heating mantle with thermostatic controller. The

glassware is composed of boiling flask with extractor, a sample support screen, volumetrically

graduated water receiving tube, condenser and desiccant drying tube. A flexible plastic tubing is

also used to connect the condenser to the water cooling unit. All these devices are mounted on a

mounting rack

RETORT OVEN

The retort oven is designed to determine oil and water fluid saturation by a high temperature

retorting process in which the oil and water contained in a fresh sample of crushed core material

are vaporized, condensed and collected in calibrated glassware. The samples are progressively

heated to remove water and then heat up to 650°C (1,200°F) to remove oil from the sample. The

gas saturation is determined on an adjacent, litho logically similar sample by placing the core

sample in a mercury porosimeter and measuring the amount of mercury injected with the water

and/or oil in place. The system comprises a retort cabinet containing two chambers of five

sample bombs capable of holding crushed core material. Each bomb is equipped with a sealed

threaded cap and is connected to a long, stainless steel condensing tube. The tube passes

through a water bath thereby enhancing condensation of the evolved gases. Calibrated glass

receiving tube is affixed to each condensing tube with a rubber stopper to collect the water and

oil produced from the sample.

depths and to identify zones where core has been lost. The apparatus consists of a conveyer for

moving core, lead shielding to reduce background gamma radiation and a suitable gamma ray

detector. The detector system consists of a shielded scintillation crystal coupled with a photo

multiplier. Signals from the detector are processed using a multi channel spectrum analyzer and

analytical software. The gamma ray events are energy - sorted and counted over three energy

windows K, U and Th as well as the total gamma radiation. Core samples can be in barrel, in a

fibre glass, or aluminium, liner or exposed. The core is scanned along its length from bottom to

top simulating a wire-line log pass. The logging speed is adjustable to suit the core and data

requirements.

DIGITAL CORE PHOTOGRAPHY SYSTEM (DCP)

The fully automated core photography system is designed for complete core photography and

archiving purposes, producing high quality white and ultraviolet colour images of full diameter

whole or slabbed core samples. The operator positions the core samples on a four rows rack and

a digital camera mounted above the core samples under white or ultra violet lighting takes a

high resolution picture. The images are then automatically digitised, displayed and recorded in

the high speed computer. The software includes calibration functions for the camera, image

processing capabilities as well as file compression, storage and transfer facilities. The

innovative concept is in the use of a digital camera which can produce very high resolution

color images up, avoiding the risk of deformed images.

CORE FLOOD SYSTEM FOR EOR STUDIES (CFS 700)

The CFS 700 system provides a versatile facility to carry out core flood and fluid flow tests

studies at reservoir conditions of temperature and pressure. The core flood and fluid tests allow

for the evaluation of the effect of different fluids on rock permeability such as brine sensitivity,

return permeability, critical flow velocity, acid stimulation, EOR tests (secondary and tertiary

water flooding, polymer injection). The computer controlled system is provided with a unique

software that allows for operation both manual and automatic modes where all key components

can be controlled including pump, valves, video capturing and data acquisition. A test sequencer

also permits to program and run test sequences automatically. The coreholder, air operated

valves, produced fluid separator if selected and necessary plumbing are mounted in an airbath

that has been designed to provide easy access of all components. Several features can be used

to extend the capabilities of the system. Among them, the automated back pressure regulator

provides a very stable pressure control with fast response to pressure fluctuations and phase

transition. It can be used for single and multiphase flow system. The automatic confining pump

generates and maintains automatically a net overburden pressure thus avoiding to control

pressure changes during heating and cooling steps. The unique video separator provides an

extreme accuracy of the volume of brine, oil and gas produced during the flow tests at reservoir

conditions.
