SOFEAT High Pressure Viscosity and Density Meter for Downhole Applications

The SOFeat is a state of the art viscometer specially designed for HPHT applications and harshest environments like oil drilling.


Compact and robust, it is easily integrated on MWD or LWD systems which are sent downhole at various kilometers below Earth surface in order to make in-situ measurements in extreme conditions of pressure and temperature.


Viscosity and density are instantaneously measured and continuously sent to the surface thanks to a high temperature electronics.


Benefits and Main Features


  • Better formation evaluation by direct viscosity measurement
  • Better accuracy and repeatability than other techniques used to deduce viscosity
  • Real time quantification of fluid variations
  • Better spectroscopic models using measured viscosity rather than calculation
  • Real time quantification of fluid variations
  • High pressure at High temperature (1100 bars @ 200°C)
  • Simultaneous viscosity and density measurement
  • Digital output, with user interface displays available.
