Brine Solution Compositional Analysis

Brines Testing Laboratories

Intertek laboratories provide extensive analytical testing services for the determination of brines composition and related properties. Brines are also referred to as 'produced water'. Produced water is extracted along with oil and gas during exploration and production. Brine can include reservoir water, injected water plus chemicals added during the production and treatment process. Brine can contain high mineral and salt content, known as formation water. Understanding the composition of produced water (brine) is crucial for offshore and other E&P projects.
