Flow in porous media

Reservoir engineering is based on the understanding of fluid flow in porous media. The reservoir technology department provides data on permeability, porosity, end point  saturation, and relative permeability for gas, water, and oil, for a range of process conditions. It is our aim to produce reliable data with high quality core flooding equipment, using carefully designed experimental procedures.
