A material sample representative of a subsurface formation is tested for its dynamic interaction with a coring fluid. The material sample is subjected to a pressurized and agitating coring fluid to simulate a coring operation. Thereafter the material sample is x-ray scanned to identify the extent of...http://www.google.ca/patents/US4982604?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US4982604 - Method and system for testing the dynamic interaction of coring fluid with earth material
