Exova offers oil testing services for naturally occurring oil mixtures such as condensate, crude oil, bitumen, and heavy oil.

 

Oil testing conducted on drilling samples (DST samples) provide petroleum engineers and geologists with information about the type of oil present in the reservoir. A sample's quality must be known in order to calculate the potential revenue from a new drill site. The price received for oil is dependent on its sulphur concentration and API gravity. Reservoir engineers use information from oil testing to simulate reservoir behavior with computer programs, which in turn helps them predict economic recovery limits for primary production. Oil testing for sulphur content, gravity, and viscosity provide an indication of an oil sample's quality.
