Natural Gas Composition

Natural gas contains many components, some of which can cause damage to your equipment, pose a danger to your employees, and lower the market value of your natural gas inventories. Element’s natural gas composition and liquid petroleum hydrocarbon testing services can quantify the composition of your gas to lower risk and increase value.

Natural gas composition testing

�ձ�av��offers a complete range of gas composition and hydrocarbon testing services with multiple applications including:

Custody Transfer
Reservoir Management
Commodity Valuation
Process Design and Optimization
Production/Revenue Accounting

The �ձ�av��advantage

By utilizing a state-of-the-art gas-chromatography oriented hydrocarbon analysis laboratory and a team of industry-recognized experts, �ձ�av��performs analyses conforming to the Gas Processors Association (GPA), American Standard Test Methods (ASTM), and American Petroleum Institute (API) methodology. Our services extend beyond natural gases to hydrocarbon liquids ranging from liquefied natural gas to heavy oil and bitumen (density 1.000+).

�ձ�av��provides specialty sampling containers for the collection of pressurized gas and liquid samples, as well as inert sampling bags used for low-level sulfur samples.
