Pycnometer

Porosity Determination via Gas Pycnometry

Porosity is a key petrophysical parameter for evaluating reservoir quality, storage capacity, and sealing efficiency. We use gas pycnometry to determine the connected pore volume of core samples by measuring their skeletal (grain) volume. This method enables calculation of effective porosity when combined with total bulk volume data.

Our setup allows for precise, reproducible measurements across a wide range of rock types, including low-porosity formations such as mudstones and caprocks. The non-destructive nature of gas pycnometry ensures sample integrity for subsequent analyses.

All measurements are conducted under controlled laboratory conditions, and results are provided with detailed documentation, including data quality assessment and uncertainty estimates upon request.

This service is suitable for academic research, subsurface characterization, and project-specific feasibility studies in underground hydrogen storage, CO₂ storage, geothermal systems, and hydrocarbon production.
