Page 5: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION General Information Introduction Purpose and Use 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. The unique design of the Model 6100 allows fluids to be injected through a prepared core sample in either direction or flowed across either end of the core to simulate the flow of treating fluids or formation fluids. -
Page 6: Theory
GENERAL INFORMATION Theory Permeability Calculation During execution of a test, the liquid permeability of the core sample is automatically calculated several times a second. The result of this calculation is considered valid once the core is fully saturated and the differential pressure reading stabilizes. Formulas Used for Permeability The liquid permeability formula used by the Model 6100 is based on core length, diameter, fluid viscosity, flow rate, and differential pressure. -

SECTION 2 – OPERATION Figure 4: Bottom of Core Holder Starting a Test 1. After the core is inserted into the core holder with appropriate spacers, verify to see that all plumbing lines are re-connected to the core holder. 2. Fill as many fluid containers as are necessary for the test. Only fluids with low viscosity may be placed in fluid containers 1-4 (i.e. - Page 16 SECTION 2 – OPERATION Note: Be sure to set the pump upper pressure limit to 300-500 PSI LESS than the confining pressure of the test. 5. It may be desirable to fill the fluid lines of the system with a fluid other than water. Typically, after a test, the lines will be left filled with water from the flushes.

Figure 8: Flow Path in Slurry Cart Resulting from Step 13 14. The capacity of the bladder is approximately 2 liters. When the fluid reaches the bottom of the marker, immediately place Valve 1 in B position.
- Page 20 SECTION 2 – OPERATION 15. Begin the cross-linker injection through the tee at the bottom of the slurry cart accumulator, if desired. 16. Program the desired temperature into the temperature controllers and press the Heater ON button. Figure 9: Flow Path in Slurry Cart Resulting from Steps 14-16 17.
