Intertek offers ISOTECH Satellite Laboratory Services for Asia Pacific
19 Apr 2010
Intertek, the leading provider of quality and safety solutions to a wide range of industries around the world, has opened an ISOTECH Satellite Laboratory in Perth, Western Australia, servicing the oil and gas exploration and production industry in Asia Pacific for mud gas Isotubes and other gas samples.
This new capability allows Asia Pacific and Australasia customers to receive quality data directly from Intertek without the high costs and delays associated with the shipment of gas samples to the USA.
The new ISOTECH satellite laboratory, located at Intertek Geotech, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology providing sophisticated gas composition, carbon and hydrogen isotope analyses. The analyses are performed using gas chromatography (GC) and isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). The IRMS is equipped with an enrichment device for carbon isotope analyses of light hydrocarbons at very low concentrations.
Importantly, the laboratory uses a suite of calibration standards and quality check processes equivalent to those of the ISOTECH headquarters in Champaign, Illinois, which ensures that Intertek Geotech results are directly comparable.
Patrick Robinson, Country Manager of Intertek Australia said, “Intertek, in collaboration with its colleagues at ISOTECH, is pleased to offer this technologically advanced service to the local and regional oil and gas industry. Intertek is committed to providing high quality and reliable analytical services to upstream oil and gas clients, complementing those provided for the downstream petroleum industry.”
