Instytut Nafty i Gazu - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy

Range of activities:

  • sampling of a downhole and surface reservoir fluids;
  • the comprehensive testing and analyses of the phase transitions/behavior of reservoir fluids samples in the Chandler/Ruska PVT systems;
  • modelling of the displacement process of crude oil with a gas, using a ‘slim-tube’ physical model of the reservoir;
  • viscosity measurements of crude oil with the use of rolling ball viscometer and capillary viscometer in PT (pressure temperature) conditions;
  • optimization of crude oil surface separation processes;
  • laboratory and simulation tests of precipitation conditions for paraffins and asphaltenes in crude oil, and the formation of hydrates in the gas;
  • studies on the effectiveness of inhibitors preventing the formation of hydrates;
  • laboratory modelling of the displacement processes of crude oil by a gas in mixed phase conditions;
  • studies of CO2 sequestration processes in deep saline aquifers saturated with natural gas;
  • studies on long drilling cores for the evaluation of the effectiveness of enhanced oil recovery methods.
