Four independent testing rooms, an integrated command and control center, a core preparation laboratory, and an extensive perforated core analysis laboratory for post-test evaluation are among the facilities at Halliburton’s new state-of-the-art Advanced Perforating Flow Lab (APFL) on the Jet Research Center campus in Alvarado, Texas.
The laboratory’s features include: flow vessels with the ability to conduct tests that simulate downhole reservoir conditions, including pressures and temperatures with a maximum rating of 50,000psi and 400°F; test vessels (pictured) with the ability to rotate 180° to perform gravity-related sanding studies, and the latest computed tomography imaging technology to evaluate perforator performance and reservoir inflow.
