Reservoir Xaminer™ formation testing service turns uncertainty into early insight to help accelerate development, reduce flaring, validate injection performance, and unlock recovery from complex reservoirs.
As reservoirs become deeper, tighter, and more heterogeneous, decisions depend on obtaining the right data early—without adding operational risk or time. Reservoir Xaminer delivers precise formation pressure measurements and representative fluid samples that clarify reservoir behavior, containment, and productivity when it matters most. With fewer test points and shorter acquisition time, operators gain consistent pressure profiles and actionable insight to guide well planning, reservoir modeling, and development strategy.
A modular formation testing architecture adapts to challenging environments, including laminated, low mobility, and heterogeneous formations. Multiple probe, pad, and dual probe configurations allow reliable testing across a wide range of mobilities and temperatures, while high accuracy quartz pressure gauges reduce depth related uncertainty and improve confidence in pressure and gradient data. This flexibility supports efficient testing in fewer runs, lowering operational exposure and minimizing stuck tool risk.
Advanced pumping and fluid identification technologies extend the radius of investigation and deliver deeper dynamic reservoir characterization. High pump rates and effective cleanup enable low contamination fluid sampling and detailed evaluation of fluid type, phase behavior, density, and contamination. The result is higher quality data to validate reservoir models, confirm deliverability, and optimize completion and production decisions.
Reservoir Xaminer goes beyond conventional formation testing with a high strength straddle packer that enables controlled microfracture creation. This capability supports injectivity evaluation and caprock integrity assessment, expanding application beyond hydrocarbon development into carbon capture and storage projects. Operators can screen storage sites, validate containment, and assess injection performance with confidence—using a single formation testing service.Compared with traditional drill stem testing, Xaminer deep testing logging service reduces testing time, rig exposure, and emissions while delivering the insights required to move forward decisively. By reducing uncertainty early, the service helps operators shorten development cycles, optimize investments, and make smarter decisions across the life of the reservoir.

Kaon Interactive Applications for the web require a modern HTML5 browser. On the desktop, this means Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 11, or Safari 8. Support for older graphics hardware varies between browsers. So trying a different browser could help, even using the same hardware.

Some mobile devices also support HTML5, including all iOS 8 devices, and higher-end Android devices when using Google Chrome or Firefox.

The desktop version of this app is available in two versions, depending on what kind of Mac you are using. For best performance and reliability, it's important that you install the right one.

1. At the top left, open the Apple menu.
2. Select About This Mac.
3. In the “Overview” tab, look for “Processor” or “Chip”.
4. Check if it says “Intel” or “Apple”.

The Desktop version of this application can be used on a touchscreen “kiosk.” You will need a Windows or Mac computer, and single- or multi-touch touchscreen that is compatible with that computer and operating system. The screen should be 16:9 aspect ratio, ideally 1080p (on other screen sizes, the app will be automatically scaled and letterboxed as needed). Install the application on the computer and start it normally. If you are using Windows, tap the [ALT] key to show the menu bar. On either Mac or Windows, from the menu bar choose View > Kiosk Mode. You will be prompted to restart.

You need an Internet connection to install this application. Once installed it can be run offline.

If you need to install on an air-gapped computer, such as a kiosk with no Internet connection, you can create an offline installer on a different computer, and then install it from a USB Flash Drive. First, install this application on a PC or Mac that has an Internet connection. When everything has been downloaded from the cloud, you will see a message "Ready for Offline Use". If you are using Windows, tap the [ALT] key to show the menu bar. On either Mac or Windows, from the menu bar choose File > Make Offline Installer. You will be prompted to insert a USB Flash Drive, and then the installer will be written to that device. You will need an Internet connection to create the flash drive. You will be alerted when the flash drive is ready. For large applications, this can take a long time (flash drives are not particularly fast).

Once you have the USB Flash Drive prepared, insert it into the air-gapped computer. You will find installers on the flash drive for both Mac and PC. Perform a normal installation and run the application. When it starts up, it will detect the USB Flash Drive and complete its installation from there instead of from the cloud. After the app is fully installed, you can remove the USB Flash Drive.

Analytics are cached locally on the computer when run without an Internet connection. We recommend connecting to the Internet, restarting the application, and using it for a few minutes at the end of a trade show, to ensure all analytics data is recorded.

This application supports VR using WebXR technology. The standards for this technology are rapidly evolving, and Kaon will continue to update this application as things change. The recommended configuration is:

• Firefox Reality Browser
• HTC Vive Focus 3 headset
• or Oculus Quest or Quest 2 headset

LiveShare is an in-App, interactive experience that enables independent and shared exploration of the application.
