RDK™

The SGS RDK^TM rapid deployment kit provides field-based sampling services, compositional analyses and production chemistry, utilizing high quality methods and instruments.

The kit consists of advanced analytical equipment mobilized to the worksite from global SGS field service centers. Designed to be shipped and set up at the location of your choice, the SGS RDK^TM rapid deployment kit fits into special purpose transport crates, meaning it can be cargoed to any destination. This portable equipment is effortlessly installed, either onshore or off-shore, giving you analytical flexibility and rapid testing turnaround times with all the reliability of fixed laboratory services.

SGS RDK^TM rapid deployment kit

The SGS RDK^TM rapid deployment kit enables you to gain a thorough understanding of your fluid properties through a series of analytical procedures conducted at the site of your well. Our certified technicians accompany the kit to your location, set it up and measure the critical data needed to assess the potential and the underlying factors required to carry out a successful exploration and production program in even the most remote locations around the world. Our wide range of tests includes:

Field sampling services

• Conventional subsurface sampling
• Equilibrium separator sampling
• Wellhead & pipeline sampling

Compositional analyses

• GOR, CGR and GWR measurements
• Live sample composition & density
• Inert and acid gas content (CO2, H2S, etc.)
• Shrinkage tests
• Extended gas compositions by GC
• Oil compositions to C36+ by GC

Production chemistry

• BS&W by ASTM centrifuge method
• Karl Fisher water content in oil or gas
• Oil molecular weight by precision cryette
• Density, viscosity & rheology
• Crude salinity
• Brine basic properties (pH, conductivity, total dissolved solid (TDS) )
• Brine preservation kit
• Sulfate reducing bacteria in water
• Hygrometer / dewscope gas dewpoints
• Length of stain measurements (Drager)
• Mercaptans and trace sulfurs by GC-FPD
• Mercury in gases or liquids
