Abstract
A high-pressure high temperature autoclave system was developed to permit testing of newly designed logging tools under hostile HDR geothermal environmental conditions. autoclave has the following specifications: - inside diameter: - inside length: - max. operating pressure: - max .temperature: - pressure medium: fluids 165mm 7800 (307") 150 (21750 psi) 200 (392 Pressure and temperature can be held constant within 1 per cent of their maximum values. The autoclave has an inside mounted 7-conductor cablehead and electrical as well as hydraulic inlets outlets at various positions to allow tool operation of almost any kind during testing.
