The Problem
Drilling induced formation damage, especially in low permeability reservoirs, cause challenges with regards to measuring accurate formation pressure and acquiring clean reservoir fluid samples.
The Solution
Using the “qWave Pulser” technique in combination with, or as a pre-step to, running a conventional downhole wireline formation tester, to enhance the coupling between the probe(s) of the wireline formation tester and the borehole, as well as enhancing the communication between the borehole and a more virgin formation, for improved measurement/sampling quality.
