Laboratory Design

Many projects, both green-field and upgrades, require the setting up or expansion of an on-site laboratory. At SGS, we have the experience and technical know-how to support your project in designing such laboratories wherever you are in the world, saving you time, money and organizational headaches.

An on-site laboratory provides facilities for operators of oil, gas and chemical plants and projects to undertake routine and non-routine analysis in a timely manner. Typically, such labs can fulfill a number of key commercial and regulatory testing requirements:

• Environmental compliance
• Analysis, reporting and, where necessary, certification of oil, gas and petrochemical products. This can be to demonstrate compliance with commercial sales, funding agreements, project guidelines or local regulation
• Hydrocarbon allocation
• Production optimization
• Support for production chemistry strategy
• Asset Integrity Management and equipment reliability
• Regulatory body oversight
