Laboratory Services
Basic Laboratory Facilities
BASIC laboratory has facilities to test slurries for cementing services and facilities for testing
acidizing and stimulation designs. The laboratory provides cover 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Before a cement job, samples of cement, additives and water are sent to the laboratory from the rig
location to allow each slurry design to be tested to confirm additive concentrations.
Cement samples, or blended samples from silos along with samples of the mix water are taken at the
location during the job for post job analysis should this be necessary.
Cementing tests are performed following procedures described in API Spec 10, or Spec 10a,
API testing of cement samples can be undertaken to ensure that samples conform to international standards.
