Core Flooding

The core flooding laboratory is equipped with seven locally designed experimental set-ups for injection experiments in rock samples at high pressure and temperature.

High pressure core flooding set-up for injection experiments on rock samples.

The injection set-ups are comprised of hassler-type core holders for mounting a standard 1,5 inch diameter plug sample, injection cylinders for continuous injection of liquids, back pressure regulators and pumping systems.

The injection cylinders, core holders and back pressure are built into industrial type ovens for operation at stable temperatures up to 240 ֯C. The pumping system, data acquisition system, and sample collectors are located outside the ovens.

The core flooding rigs allow for operating pressures corresponding to reservoir conditions of several hundred bar. These systems can be used to test amongst other things injectivity, leakage, recovery of fluids and carbon storage scenarios.
