Laboratory and Support Services
Sample Management
Sample capture at the wellsite is the first small step in the process of ensuring that samples are maintained in a representative condition, for as long as is required. Oilphase offer a comprehensive sample management service so that their customers can deal with a single point of contact for all aspects of sample distribution and analysis. When samples are received at our Aberdeen base they are inspected, labelled and stored according to local statutory requirements. Each sample in our care is logged on a database and our clients can request a report on, or status of, any sample at any time. Report formats can be customised to the specific requirements of our clients. Sub-sampling or transfer of samples can be handled properly in our fluids analysis laboratory.
Sample Bottle Supply and Maintenance
As designers and manufacturers of reservoir fluid sampling equipment, Oilphase is in a strong position to offer an all-inclusive sample bottle supply and maintenance service to both operators and service companies. Oilphase has invested in large stock levels to ensure that no customer is disappointed when calling out equipment at short notice. Pressurised sample bottles are constantly recycled after use and Oilphase provides a testing and solvent cleaning service to ensure no contamination during the next sampling operation. Oilphase also manages the vital procedure of having these pressurised vessels regularly retested and recertified according to the requirements of their design code.
Laboratory PVT Analytical Services
The purpose of recovering reservoir fluid samples is to provide reservoir engineering and process data through PVT and compositional analysis in the pressure volume temperature (PVT) laboratory. The Oilphase fluids analysis service is carried out in a purpose-built PVT laboratory facility in Aberdeen, serving our UK and European customers. Established in 1984, the laboratory has a substantial track record and experienced personnel. Recognised in particular for its specialisation in HP/HT gas condensate studies, the laboratory offers PVT analysis on all types of fluid. The importance of accurate PVT data, measured on representative samples, in making a technical and economic evaluation of a reservoir is critical. The laboratory operates a quality system ensuring excellent results time after time.
