The Reservoir Characterization eXplorer™ (RCX) service from Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE), addresses the growing need to acquire pressure data, characterize fluids, and collect representative samples in extreme conditions or hostile environments.

The RCX premium high-pressure, high-temperature (HP/HT) service provides the highest quality data and service performance operators increasingly need to reliably assess the commercial value of assets, make important decisions about facility design, develop optimum recovery strategies, and maximize return-on-investment.

The RCX service delivers reliable formation testing and sampling at up to 395°F* and 27,000 psi. The data gathered integrates with core data and open hole logs to enable operators to perform early and robust petrophysical evaluations that allow the earliest economic analyses of the formations encountered and their commercial viability.

If you need accurate formation pressures and representative fluid samples from your HP/HT projects, visit the BHGE website at bhge.com or contact your local BHGE representative.

Reservoir Characterization eXplorer (RCX) serviceAcquire critical data in extreme conditions

Applications

• Extreme/hostile environments• High-pressure, high-temperature• Highly overbalanced wells

Benefits

• Improve reliability in challenging high-temperature wells

• Enhance operating envelope in wells with high overbalance

• Improve wellsite and sampling efficiency

• Provide large-volume samples in one run to reduce risk and save time in hole

• Collect the largest single-phase sample volumes in the industry

• Ensure H2S sample integrity, even at low concentrations

• Reduce the need for pipe-conveyed deployment in high-angle wells
