DCM
The Dielectric Constant Measurement technique (DCM) is a fast, easy and cheap method to determine the amount of swellable clay minerals within a sample and indirectly the angle of internal friction. This knowledge is of crucial importance for drilling progress, wellbore and caprock stability, as well as the frackability of unconventionals, because the presence of clay minerals with interstitial water lowers the strength of a rock significantly.

Meet us at the GET 2024
Gesteinslabor will exhibit at the GET2024 in Rotterdam. 4.-7.November 2024, find us at booth 605.
We are looking forward meeting you there!
Gesteinslabor Dr. Eberhard Jahns is project and research partner within the HENRI (Hydrogen Energy Reservoir) project.
Main focus of us is the impact of H2 on the cap rock. Besides other parameters, we determine the capillary threshold pressure with different gases and gas mixtures.
First preliminary results could be presented at the 2nd HENRI conference.
Recently, the article "Determination of capillary threshold pressure with hydrogen gas" was published in the journal EEK.
Article from the journal EEK 01/2023
Gesteinslabor has successfully completed the development of a new test rig to determine the capillary threshold pressure with hydrogen.
