Full-scale Completion Testing (FCT) 

Full-Scale Completion Testing (FCT) 

• A concentric radial cell that accommodates a cylindrical sand control device at the center of the cell.

•  Injection in this facility follows a radial geometry which is expected for actual producer wells. 

• Two Triplex metering pumps for oil and brine injection (Max 21 lit/hr)

• Stresses provided by Bellofram Diaphragm using air pressure

• Pressure transducers at different radial distances

• The test cell can rotate 180°, and tests can be conducted at different positions

• Larger sand control device (SCD) area, larger fluid volumes, superior resemblance of reservoir conditions
