Our Support Services Include:
Comprehensive Hydrocarbon Analysis
We deliver detailed characterisation of crude oil, natural gas, LPG, and refined products, supported by advanced techniques such as gas chromatography analysis and gas and condensate analysis to ensure product quality, processing efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Production Chemistry Assessment
From corrosion inhibitors to scale prevention agents, we evaluate production chemical performance and identify trace degradation products or contaminants using methods including high-resolution LC-MS/MS.
Drilling and Completion Fluid Testing
Our laboratory provides in-depth chemical analysis of drilling muds and brines to optimise performance, reduce environmental risk, and monitor additive behaviour under operational conditions.
Corrosion and Materials Diagnostics
We investigate causes of infrastructure degradation through chemical profiling, failure analysis, and compatibility assessments – helping to extend equipment life and reduce downtime.
Environmental Monitoring and Spill Response Support
We test for chemical contaminants in soil, water, and air, and support spill response planning with hydrocarbon fingerprinting, weathering studies, and dispersant efficacy testing informed by our oil spill analysis expertise.
Custom Method Development
We work with clients to develop or refine analytical methods tailored to specific hydrocarbons, production environments, or regulatory requirements.
Technical Training and Consultation
For operators, engineers, and in-house lab teams, we offer targeted training and expert consultation. For deeper capability development, consider our laboratory training for analytical chemists.
