Abstract
A test system comprising a first CO2 vessel having a first predefined volume configured to hold and/or receive a first predefined amount of CO2, having a first CO2 output, a second CO2 vessel having a second predefined holding volume configured to hold and/or receive a second predefined amount of CO2 having a second CO2 input, a test section having a third CO2 input in fluid communication with the first CO2 output and a third CO2 output in fluid communication with the second CO2 input, where the test section is configured to hold a first sample, a first valve arranged between the first CO2 output and the third CO2 input, and a second valve arranged between the third output and the second CO2 input.
Claims14
A test system comprising:
- a first CO2 vessel having a first predefined volume configured to hold and/or receive a first predefined amount of CO2, having a first CO2 output,
- a second CO2 vessel having a second predefined holding volume configured to hold and/or receive a second predefined amount of CO2 having a second CO2 input,
- a test section having a third CO2 input in fluid communication with the first CO2 output and a third CO2 output in fluid communication with the second CO2 input, where the test section is configured to hold a first sample,
- a first valve arranged between the first CO2 output and the third CO2 input, and
- a second valve arranged between the third CO2 output and the second CO2 input.
A method of testing the effect of a CO2 stream on downhole equipment, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first predefined amount of CO2 in a first CO2 vessel,
- releasing the first predefined amount of CO2 from the first CO2 vessel,
- creating a CO2 stream into a test section holding downhole equipment, the CO2 stream passing the downhole equipment,
- providing a first sensor output at an upstream position of the downhole equipment,
- providing a second sensor output at a downstream position of the downhole equipment, and
- collecting the first predefined amount of CO2 in a second CO2 vessel.
