Oil & Gas
As a global company, we have four dedicated research and development laboratories; Delaware and a brand new facility in Houston in the USA, Singapore and England. Our technical teams have many years of expertise and with the use of these state of the art innovation centres we are able to help find solutions to specific challenges.
We have developed a portfolio of best in class chemistries that are suitable across a wide range of applications. We are continually researching and developing new technologies to remain at the cutting edge, with tailored products and solutions for every customer.
Please note: We do not provide testing as a service, it is to accumulate product data and help solve our customer formulation problems. Contact us for more information.Explore our In-House Test Methods
B
-
the procedure in which different demulsifiers are added to bottle samples of a crude oil emulsion to determine which chemical is the most effective at breaking, or separating, the emulsion.
C
-
measures the amount of wax deposited on the apparatus when a Croda product is present in order to determine wax inhibitor performance.
E
-
measures the lubricating quality of drilling fluids.
I
-
determines the interfacial tension of two immiscible fluids using a pendant method.
-
calculated by immersing the test samples in brine solutions for a varying amount of time.
P
-
measures the pour point temperatures of samples during cooling.
T
-
a technique in which the mass of a substance is monitored as a function of temperature or time as the sample specimen is subjected to a controlled temperature program in a controlled atmosphere.
-
measures the amount of asphaltene dispersed within a sample. A successful asphaltene dispersant produces a vial which remains the same opacity throughout the duration of the test.
V
-
measure the dynamic viscosity of a fluid, which is the viscosity determined under shearing conditions.
