Effective resource development starts with understanding the subsurface. At Central Laboratories Ltd, our Reservoir Characterization services provide critical insights into the physical and chemical properties of reservoir rocks—enabling better decisions in exploration, production, and enhanced recovery.

What is Reservoir Characterization?

Reservoir characterization is the integrated analysis of rock and fluid properties to assess the quality, performance, and behavior of a reservoir. This is essential in:

• Oil & gas exploration and development

• Carbon capture and storage (CCS)

• Geothermal energy production

• Reservoir simulation and modeling

Our Specialized Services Include:

• Core analysis (porosity, permeability, grain density)

• Thin section petrography & mineralogy

• Capillary pressure & relative permeability testing

• Formation water chemistry

• Rock mechanical testing (stress, strength, brittleness)

• XRD, XRF, and SEM imaging
