The Problem RTAPK Solves

The Problem RTAPK Solves

For decades, core analysis has been a critical tool for understanding reservoir properties. But when it comes to unconventional, low-permeability reservoirs, standard laboratory tests often fall short.

The Challenges with Conventional Testing

• Time-Consuming: Traditional methods require extensive test durations, especially in tight rocks, which can significantly delay results.
• Unrealistic Conditions: Lab setups typically don’t reproduce the same boundary conditions and flow regimes that wells encounter in the field.
• Data Disconnect: Field engineers analyze production data using rate-transient methods, but conventional lab tests are not designed to provide data in that same format.

This creates a gap between what happens in the lab and what happens in the reservoir.

How RTAPK Bridges the Gap

RTAPK (Rate-Transient Analysis Porosity & Permeability) closes this disconnect by:

• Reproducing Real Field Conditions inside the lab — applying the same operating conditions as wells in the field.
• Analyzing Results the Same Way Engineers Do in the Field, using rate-transient techniques for permeability and porosity estimates.
• Delivering Faster, More Relevant Data — multiple measurements under stress conditions in a fraction of the time required by conventional methods

By aligning laboratory experiments with real-world reservoir behavior, RTAPK ensures that operators get actionable, field-representative data for better decision-making. Discover more about RTAPK and CoreSpec’s advanced solutions at www.corealliances.com
