Oil and Gas Composition

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Compositional Analysis

Intertek crude oil and natural gas laboratories across the world provide complete compositional testing of crude oil and natural gas exploration and production streams. Detailed analysis provides clients with important oil and gas reservoir data.

Oil and Gas Composition Expertise and Testing includes:

  • Evolved Gas/Oil Ratio: Gas at STP per barrel of oil at specified pressure and temperature
  • Oil Volume Factor: Volume at specified pressure and temperature per volume of residual oil at STP
  • Density of oil phase at specified pressure and temperature
  • Whole Oil Fingerprinting by Capillary Gas Chromatography
  • Detailed Crude Oil Assay
  • Detection and analysis of trace metals (such as mercury)
  • Detection and analysis of trace compounds (such as sulfur species)
