Crude Oil and Petroleum Feedstocks Tests

Petroleum refining feedstocks and crude oil quality testing.

Crude oil and petroleum feedstock testing is provided to oil refineries and other clients, through a global hydrocarbons laboratory network staffed with experienced petroleum chemists and equipped with modern instrumentation. The crude oil and petroleum labs test to ASTM, ISO, IP, and other petroleum industry protocols.

Refining technical support services include crude oil assay testing, refined product QC, troubleshooting, contamination identification, catalyst evaluation, and pilot plant services. Crude oil assay testing expertise and resources at Intertek are world-class.
