    Pre-treatment Crude Oil Permeability Main Chemical Application Post Treatment Crude Oil Permeability Inhibitor Chemical Analysis
    To establish the permeability and porosity of the core before treatment is undertaken Designed to mimic chemical application in the field To ascertain whether any change in permeability has occurred due to chemical application as an indication of possible formation damage to study the return characteristics of the Inhibitor
