Use representative water and application conditions to decide what to test, how to compare candidates and what a result can support.

Match the study to the decision.

Matrix laboratory studies cover friction-loop evaluation, scale modeling and inhibitor studies, biocide efficacy, emulsion compatibility and water analysis. Start with the question the result needs to answer. Agree the sample requirements, methods, conditions and reporting scope before testing.

Evaluate the complete chemical package.

Water chemistry, additive concentration, mixing order and contact time can affect the result. For formation-facing questions, mineralogy, clay behavior and flow through representative material may need additional work. Confirm the required test arrangement, including any specialist partner scope, before scheduling.

Evaluation

Complete-package evaluation

Carry the actual water, additive sequence and operating conditions through the study.

  1. 01

    Water

    Source, blend and analysis

    Define the fluid to be tested.

  2. 02

    Package

    Additives, concentration and sequence

    Test the ingredients together.

  3. 03

    Flow response

    Hydration, friction and test baseline

    Measure the required surface response.

  4. 04

    Formation response

    Mineralogy and relevant flow testing

    Evaluate rock interaction where required.

Service scope

Services for your application.

Friction and hydration

Compare candidates using representative water, concentration and flow conditions. Record the baseline and timing alongside the response.

Scale and water chemistry

Use water analysis and the operating envelope to frame scale-control evaluation and inhibitor selection.

Compatibility and efficacy

Review the full additive package, including potential interactions with scale inhibitors, biocides and surfactants.

Formation compatibility

Discuss mineralogy, clay sensitivity and the need for core-flow or conductivity work when that evidence is relevant to the decision.

From question to findings

How we support your project.

  1. Define the comparison

    Agree the operating question, baseline and decision criteria.

  2. Set the test conditions

    Specify samples, concentrations, sequence and relevant exposure conditions.

  3. Interpret the result

    State what the test shows, its limitations and the next evaluation needed.
