Stim-Lab, a Core Lab Production Enhancement division, is the oil and gas industry's foremost provider of a broad range of research and testing services for drilling, cementing, completion and stimulation design, additive evaluation, petrology and reservoir analysis. Our research and testing groups provide expertise within key areas of indutry specialization, including:

We simulate fracture acidizing, closed fracture acidizing and matrix acidizing of carbonate formations; and our GOHFER™ fracture simulator is the only simulator that can accurately model proppant transport, handle horizontal and asymmetric well models, model multiple perforated intervals with diversion between perofrations for limited entry design, allow for vertical and lateral variation of leakoff and rheology across the fracture, and accurately model frac-pac designs by using pressure distribution screen-out criteria.

Stim-Lab's research consortia offer the opportunity for companies to participate in multi-client studies that investigate subjects of broad industry interest. Producers, service companies and suppliers in these consortia study a variety of issues including proppant transport, proppant conductivity, screen cleanup, casing cleanup, testing methods for matrix fracture acidizing, and perforating damage assessment and prediction.
