HALLIBURTON
The Dual Probe Section (DPS) is designed to detect Summary of Benefits
horizontal mobility and permeability (kh) and anisotropy
• Reduces contamination through faster pumpout times
(kv/kh) over an extended range of operation. The DPS
pressure testing flow rates are precisely controlled with the • Ensures sample integrity through Zero Shock™
advanced digital control feedback system, thus achieving pressure control
steady state pressures very quickly and reducing the testing
• Provides highest-quality PVT quality samples available
time required.
• Reduces rig time
By running two dual probe sections in tandem, the RDT
can determine the pressure gradient between the probes • Provides accurate, reliable hydrocarbon/fluid typing
and profile permeability and anisotropy. This further
• Delivers improved permeability estimates
enables an extended depth of investigation and detection
of permeability barriers. • Design features offer expanded testing versatility
The RDT also provides extended range pressure sampling • Built-in redundancies provide high reliability assurance
through the use of two flow control pumpout sections, one
configured for 4,000 psi pumping pressure and the other for
8,000 psi pumping pressure. Where zones are tested over a
wide range of overbalance pressures in a single trip, the two
flow control pumpout sections can extend the range of
sampling, thus saving rig time and providing higher-quality
samples. With this feature, the RDT can obtain samples that
are not possible with current generation tools.
