We’ve built our expertise and proven our SapphireLab platform working across major basins in North America, the Middle East, and Off-Shore.
Our versatile solutions, backed by deep experience, have proven successful across various industries. We’ve brought nano-technology from academic proof to practical tests delivering reliable insights.
We are a technology company providing energy industry clients insights into the interactions and properties of reservoir fluids to help them improve their financial performance, reduce their carbon footprint and ensure the responsible development of their oil and gas assets.
Description of Services
Services:
- Chemical EOR
Chemical Performance Evaluation
Optimize your chemical spend to extract maximum economic value from your polymer injection program. Interface delivers key insights on how different polymer blends behave in the reservoir. This helps you optimize your chemical spend to extract as much value from your assets as possible.
- Flowback
Fracturing Fluid Optimization
Make better cost-saving completions decisions that help increase hydrocarbon recovery and reduce fracturing fluid costs. Interface’s flowback fluids screening enables you to optimize your fracturing fluids spend and avoid fluid dosing and combinations that can damage your reservoir.
Interface Fluidics helps you evaluate a range of down-hole chemicals using your specific reservoir characteristics and fluids to identify top performing additives, allowing you to make faster, data-driven decisions.
- Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) and Composition
PVT & FLUID PHASE BEHAVIOUR
Rapid measurements for gas flooding
Quickly determine miscibility conditions for your gas flooding operation with a variety of gas compositions. MMP measurements provide you the minimum pressure required for miscible oil displacement in your reservoir. This critical measurement helps you avoid unwanted early gas breakthrough, which reduces oil recovery.
Developed in partnership with Equinor, this test is proven to deliver accurate results in as little as 30 minutes with as little as 0.1ml of oil sample per data point.
- PVT and Fluid Phase Behaviour
Faster and more cost effective high-pressure, high-temperature analysis of oil and gas samples.
Interface’s suite of standard and advanced PVT analysis solutions require less than 1ml of fluid per evaluation and gets you results much faster than conventional PVT methods.
- Regain Conductivity
A Rapid Regain Alternative
Reducing cost and time while increasing run-to-run repeatability would be a step change in how friction reducers are evaluated and potentially revolutionize the formation damage measurement industry.
- Thermal Solvent SAGD
SAGD Fluid Performance Screening
Properly assess how steam additives influence your reservoir. Interface helps you select a solvent, alkaline additive, or non-condensable gas to supplement your steam in the field.
After almost a decade of extensive research, Interface’s SAGD performance evaluation testing is proven to provide pore-scale level data that shows the mechanisms behind how steam additives work.
- Wax Control
Wax coverage and conditions for management
Highly accurate measurements for managing wax
The SaphireLab Platform uses Microfluidic chips that are used to visualize and quantify wax appearance, disappearance and coverage.
Samples are run through a variety of tests to determine an accurate Wax Appearance and Disappearance Temperature. Other tests can be conducted to understand the efficacy of different wax mitigation strategies. SapphireLab can help you hone your understanding of the correct chemistry and concentrations to best execute a well defined wax management program.
SapphireLab can accommodate extreme conditions as the platform can operate up to 1000bar/15000psi and 200C°/400F°.
