Service 04 / 06
Laboratory, sampling, compositional, and modeling services for understanding reservoir-fluid behavior under changing conditions.
Capability overview
PVT analysis turns reservoir-fluid samples into the pressure, volume, temperature, and compositional insight required for reservoir studies, production planning, and flow-assurance decisions.
The operational challenge
Reservoir-fluid behavior changes as pressure and temperature move from subsurface to surface conditions. If the sample is unrepresentative or the laboratory program is not matched to the decision, models and facility assumptions can inherit that uncertainty.
Zima's approach
The work connects sample planning and handling with restoration or recombination, compositional characterization, fit-for-purpose PVT testing, and fluid modeling. Quality checks are maintained from receipt through the final interpreted dataset.
Scope
Delivery workflow
The exact program is adapted to the well, operating environment, available data, and the client's decision criteria.
Define the decisions to be supported, sample type, handling requirements, and the laboratory test program.
Review sample condition, representativeness, restoration, recombination, and chain-of-custody information.
Measure phase behavior, composition, and key fluid properties across the required pressure and temperature range.
Prepare quality-controlled tables, interpretation, and model-ready information for engineering workflows.
