The pulse decay is the main method employed to determine permeability for tight rocks, and has been widely used in oil industry. This in-house developed set up at TORP can measure the porosity and permeability of core sample at various temperature and pressure.
In a single well tracer test, a solution of chemical tracer ester (ethyl formate) is pumped downhole, displaced with brine, shut-in to allow hydrolysis of a portion of the ester to ethanol, then produced back.
The application of CO2/natural gas huff-n-puff in unconventional reservoirs is currently implemented in organic-rich, tight and ultra-tight oil reservoirs to add energy supply for oil industry.
