Halliburton launches new wireline formation testing platform for oil and gas operators

(WO) – On Wednesday, Jan. 10, Halliburton Company introduced Reservoir Xaminer, a formation testing service designed to provide precise formation pressure measurements and representative samples of the reservoir fluid in less time. Reservoir Xaminer service is designed to provide fast, high-quality, and customized data, even in the toughest conditions.

It features a first-to-market technological advancement in the enhanced probe section with dual quartz pressure sensors. Additionally, the service provides real-time monitoring, larger area dual probes, and high-strength straddle packers. This gives operators the ability to test their formations more quickly and accurately.

“The service shows a more complete picture of the well in less time,” said Chris Tevis, vice president, Wireline and Perforating. “It gives operators a one-stop pressure gradient and allows them to obtain 4 times the data that other tools provide in the same stop.”
