High-Quality Fluid Samples and Accurate Real-Time Reservoir Pressure Measurements

Accurately Measure Real-Time Reservoir Pressure and Permeability

The MDT modular formation dynamics tester tool delivers accurate pressure measurements in real time. Accurate permeability measurements result from high-resolution gauges combined with precise flowline control to ensure monophasic flow. With one trip, you get the representative data you need for timely decisions.

Collect Qualified Fluid Samples

MDT sampling identifies and collects high-quality reservoir fluid samples for downhole fluid analysis (DFA) or further laboratory analysis. Real-time flowline resistivity measurements taken by the probe module are used to discriminate between formation fluids and filtrate from water- and oil-base muds. Formation fluid is excluded from the sample chamber until an uncontaminated sample can be recovered.

Readily Customize for your Applications

The modular design of the MDT tool makes it easy to meet the exact needs and goals of your data acquisition program. Flexibility is designed in for compatibility with almost all Schlumberger measurement technologies. Modularity also enables evolving the MDT tool as new measurement techniques, technologies, and options are developed.
