Instytut Nafty i Gazu - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy

Range of activities:

  • analysis of the causes and studies of the extent of damage to reservoir rocks in the wellbore zone;
  • evaluation of the depth of liquid phase infiltration into reservoir rocks;
  • measurements of the rheological parameters for the liquid and viscoelastic fluids, in a temperature range of -40 to 200°C and a pressure up to 150 bar;
  • selection of working fluids and brines for works connected with drill-stem testing and workover operations;
  • monitoring, forecasting and detection of anomaly high pore and reservoir pressures in wells;
  • evaluation of the stability of borehole walls;
  • evaluation of the borehole productivity;
  • simulation of cavern exploitation process in underground gas stores in salt caverns, including the cavern convergence;
  • use of microbiological technologies for borehole stimulation and the removal of paraffin residues in boreholes and surface installations;
  • photographic documentation of well cores;
  • determination of the mechanical and seismo-acoustic properties of rocks using drill cuttings;
  • analysis of migration phenomena, natural gas exhalation, and the occurrence of pressures in annular spaces;
  • mathematical modeling of complex processes and development of specialized software related to petroleum engineering.
