about us
Who we are
We are a small, independent crude oil testing lab founded by three oil and gas professionals with over 30 years of combined midstream experience. An experienced analyst manages our operations. Our mission is to provide ASTM-compliant crude oil test results that are accurate, timely, and actionable. Major refineries recognize and accept our results, which comply with industry standards to ensure credibility and value for our clients. We work directly with traders, refiners, and logistics teams who need reliable data without the overhead of larger labs.
Our story
We launched this service to provide a more personal and responsive testing experience. Our lean operations allow us to prioritize quality control, method integrity, and fast turnaround. Clients may drop off samples at our lab or arrange for direct pickup by our analyst. Test results are delivered via secure email upon completion.
What we do
We offer a focused range of ASTM crude oil tests and deliver clear, actionable reports. Core tests include D8252 for metal analysis and D4929C for organic chlorides. Turnaround options are available in 72-hour, 24-hour, and 12-hour express service. Bulk discounts apply to larger orders. Reports include method IDs, measured values, and concise interpretation notes to support timely decisions.
