Stim-Lab
Stim-Lab is the oil and gas industry’s foremost provider of a broad range of research and testing services for drilling, cementing, completion and stimulation design, additive evaluation, petrology and reservoir analysis.
Stim-Lab has the experience and proficiency needed to fully evaluate your problem, and propose an effective testing regime. In cases where the testing does not meet our standard offerings, we can design and manufacture testing equipment to answer our client’s needs.
For more than 38 years our expertise in research and testing has provided answers in the key areas of industry specialization including:
Stim-Lab Consortium
The Stim-Lab Proppant Consortium is now into its 39th year of investigating methods to optimize recovery from hydraulically fractured oil and gas wells.
Proppant Evaluation
Fracture conductivity testing and API Standard 19C evaluation of proppant characteristics under specific testing conditions in the laboratory.
Core Flow Evaluation
Fluid Sensitivity Screening by Capillary Suction Time (CST) and Roller Oven (RO) Analysis — Shale Flow Properties: Unpropped Fracture Conductivity
40 Years of Stim-Lab
For over 40 years, we’ve set the standard in independent third-party stimulation and completion testing. As pioneers of the proppant testing industry, we continue to lead with cutting-edge technologies and breakthrough testing solutions.
Proppant Crush Testing
Complete Crush™ provides a new, proprietary approach to proppant crush testing that leverages a modified Kozeny-Carman equation to estimate permeability directly from crush testing, offering engineers a more practical and predictive tool for proppant selection.
