An API Spec 10A compliant instrument, the Model 7322 HPHT Consistometer is designed to test cement thickening behavior under a variety of downhole conditions.

The Model 8340 HPHT Consistometer is designed for laboratories that need to test cement mixtures and additives for use at the hottest temperatures and highest pressures. This instrument is used to test cement thickening behavior under almost any downhole well conditions.

The Model 290 High-Pressure, High-Temperature (HPHT) Consistometer measures cement slurry viscosity or consistency under elevated pressure and temperature conditions. Its primary function is to determine the maximum available pumping time of a cement slurry before the slurry reaches an un-pumpable consistency before setting. While designed for cement slurries, the effects of pressure, time and temperature can also be observed for other fluids, emulsions, dispersions, or slurries under static or dynamic conditions.

The Models 1200 and 1250 are specifically designed to be a simple and accurate means to prepare cement slurries for the testing of rheological properties, fluid loss and various other properties in strict compliance with API 10 A/B.

The first steps of any test procedure have the ability to significantly impact the final results. This is true for oil well cement where detailed testing by the API has proven that the methods of mixing cement slurries will significantly effect their thickening time. Because of this, the API has defined accepted practices for mixing cement slurries.

Designed to improve laboratory efficiency, the Model 5270 Data Acquisition & Control System is able to simultaneously communicate with, and capture data from, multiple oilfield laboratory instruments such as ultrasonic cement analyzers, consistometers and the like.

Chandler Engineering developed the Model 7150 Cement Fluid Migration Analyzer to realistically simulate well parameters including temperature, hydrostatic head pressure, fluid formation pressure and the pressure gradients which drive invasive fluid flows.

A Critical Tool for Reservoir Analysis The Model 6100 Formation Response Tester (FRT) is designed to accurately measure the permeability changes of a formation sample when exposed to a variety of test fluids. This highly flexible, easy to use system is capable of simulating nearly any well completion and stimulation schedule on a core sample. The unit is also capable of operating as a dynamic fluid loss

The Model 6265 Mechanical Properties Analyzer (MPRO) continuously measures the elastic mechanical properties (Poisson’s ratio, Young’s modulus, Bulk Modulus) and compressive strength of API cement as it cures under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. These results enable the optimization of the cement’s formulation for long-term performance.

A Precision, Multi-Tasking Instrument For Understanding The Behavior Of Complex Mixtures

The Model 5550 HPHT Rheometer is a concentric cylinder viscometer that uses the rotor and bob geometry accepted by the energy industry. Its design meets the requirements set forth in ISO and API standards for viscosity measurement of completion fluids at high pressure and high temperature.

Gas migration and water flows through cement are two of the biggest problems facing the petroleum industry. One of the critical measurements required to evaluate the potential for fluid inflow migration problems is the determination of the static gel strength development of the cement slurry.
