Water Analysis for the Oil and Gas Industry

Providing water analysis for the oil and gas industry enhances our clients’ understanding of the industrial waters they rely on for unimpeded production.

Independent water analysis for the oil and gas industry offers organisations a detailed insight into the makeup of the fluids they require to maintain the consistency of their operations. 

Oil and gas production is heavily reliant on a range of waters - from produced water that must be monitored to maintain the integrity of reservoirs, wells and hardware, to the vital potable supplies on offshore platforms. 

Water analysis is important to maintain the health of your water systems and typically forms part of a comprehensive management strategy. 

Such monitoring methods need to be implemented and maintained to ensure that you are adhering to best practice and acknowledging any important alterations in microbial activity or water quality.

Providing valued water analysis to oil and gas businesses and a full spectrum of related support to clients worldwide, we are the ideal partner to deliver your services.

We possess capabilities in analysing a wide range of waters for the exploration and production industry, including reservoir, potable, cooling water and wastewater.
