🔬 HMS HPHT Testing Skid

Overview

The HPHT Testing Skid is a modular, skid-mounted system developed by HMS Engineers to simulate extreme downhole conditions for oil & gas equipment validation. It replicates high-pressure (HP) and high-temperature (HT) environments, ensuring that tools and components perform reliably before deployment in actual wells.

⚙️ Construction & Design

• Skid Frame:
  • Heavy-duty steel skid base for portability and stability.
  • Compact, modular design for easy transport and installation.
• Pressure System:
  • Integrated hydraulic and gas boosters for generating ultra-high pressures.
  • High-pressure manifolds, fittings, and SS tubing rated up to 30,000 psi.
  • Safety valves and rupture discs for overpressure protection.
  • Skid is capable to test pressure till 15000 PSI as per test requirements.
• Temperature System:
  • Heat transfer oil circulation for controlled heating.
  • Electric heaters with precise temperature regulation.
  • Capable of simulating downhole temperatures up to 200–300°C.
• Instrumentation:
  • Pressure gauges and transmitters for real-time monitoring.
  • Thermocouples and RTDs for accurate temperature measurement.
  • Data acquisition integrated with HMS SCADA software.
• Control & Automation:
  • PLC-based control housed in HMS electrical panels.
  • SCADA interface for remote monitoring, logging, and automated test sequences.
  • Alarm systems for safety interlocks.

🔑 Key Features

• HPHT Simulation: Replicates extreme wellbore conditions for product testing.
• Safety Integration: Equipped with multiple fail-safes (valves, alarms, interlocks).
• Modularity: Skid-mounted design allows flexible deployment and relocation.
• Data Logging: Continuous recording of pressure, temperature, and performance metrics.
• Compatibility: Works with HMS vertical and horizontal test wells.

🧪 Applications

• Oilfield Equipment Testing: Packers, valves, sensors, seals, and completion tools.
• Material Validation: Ensures elastomers, seals, and metals withstand HPHT conditions.
• R&D: Supports development of new oilfield technologies.
• Client Demonstrations: Provides proof-of-performance in controlled environments.

📊 Benefits

• Safety Assurance: Prevents equipment failure in real wells.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduces trial-and-error in field operations.
• Reliability: Ensures compliance with international standards (API, ISO).
• Flexibility: Customizable for different product requirements.

✅ In HMS systems, the HPHT Testing Skid acts as a portable laboratory, combining pressure boosters, heating systems, manifolds, and SCADA automation into a single, integrated platform for extreme condition testing.
