Opening of Schlumberger reservoir laboratory

Schlumberger has announced the official opening of the Schlumberger Reservoir Laboratory in Brisbane, Australia. The state-of-the-art facility is the latest addition to the global network of laboratories, offering services that provide core measurements and analysis in the oil and gas industry.

“The new facility brings rock analysis expertise and integrated solutions that enable oil and gas operators to determine reserves in place and better design and optimise stimulation operations,” commented Sameh Hanna, president of Schlumberger Testing Services. “The timely delivery of accurate reservoir characterisation information is essential in reducing project risk, simplifying operations and improving field productivity.”

Geomechanical modelling

The laboratory offers an all-inclusive set of rock mechanical evaluation services including tight rock analysis, field core handling, model calibration, and interpretation. Core measurements combined with data analysis and interpretation services deliver key information for geomechanical modelling and petrophysical evaluation.

Laboratory staff members work closely with the Queensland University of Technology and Schlumberger technical experts to provide a range of solutions to enhance understanding of reservoir characterisation. The new facility is part of a global network of Schlumberger laboratories that focus on reservoir rock and fluid analyses.
