  • Full immersion pressure-pulse decay
    Patent number: 10302543
    Abstract: The present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for pressure-pulse decay performed on whole cylindrical samples whose entire outer surface areas are eligible to receive the pulse. Using the methods and apparatus of the present disclosure, not only is the experimental time dramatically shortened, it also allows for simultaneous determination of local permeabilities parallel and perpendicular to their native bedding planes. Currently, there is no permeability-measurement technique to capable of doing so from a single sample from a single test.
