Petroleum laboratory




History
Reservoir evaluation is a key to making money from extracting petroleum from any reservoir; how much petroleum that can be extracted, how fast it can be extracted, and at what cost. Proper evaluation requires input of high quality data. One of the main data sources is core analysis. This was the motivation when International Research Institute of Stavanger (IRIS) established the IRIS-Petroleum Laboratory in 1982.

Our SCAL-Laboratory concentrate on acquiring data from experiments performed at reservoir conditions - at pressures and temperatures, and with fluids equivalent to those existing in the reservoirs. The combination of experienced staff and advanced instrumentation ensures high quality data.
The laboratory forms a versatile experimental set-up, adaptable to customers' needs. Our Laboratory holds an ISO 9001 certificate. Through over fifteen years of operation, IRIS-Core Laboratory has gained experience in several hundred projects. Today our laboratory is recognized as a laboratory for performing advanced special core analysis and a partner for discussing complex problems related to core analysis.

The IRIS petroleum laboratory has established laboratory facilities for petrophysical analyses. In addition the centrifuge equipment has been further developed to include runs at both full reservoir temperature and pressure with live crude oil.
