Tag: Enhance Oil Recovery

Laboratory Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) has officially obtained accreditation from the National Accreditation Committee (KAN), marking a significant milestone in ensuring the quality and competence of the laboratory in conducting testing and calibration in accordance with national and international standards. This accreditation serves as formal recognition of the quality of the EOR Lab’s management system, technical procedures, and the reliability of its testing results, thereby reinforcing its position as one of the leading laboratories in the oil and energy sector in Indonesia.

The accreditation not only proves that the equipment and procedures in our laboratory meet the highest standards, but also provides an objective assurance of the reliability and analytical results of our testing. We are now capable of offering services that are competitive not only in technical terms, but also in terms of legality and credibility.

For companies or institutions operating in the oil and gas sector, particularly in the EOR phase, this means:

• Assured Data Validity
  Testing results from an accredited laboratory are more trusted and can serve as a reliable reference in strategic decision-making.
• Enhance Project Reputation and Value
  Utilizing services from an accredited laboratory adds value to technical reports, project proposals, and tender documentation.
• Compliance with Regulatory and Audit Requirements
  Many regulatory bodies or investors require the use of accredited facilities to ensure data quality and integrity.

Below is the list of KAN-accredited equipment :

Spinning Drop Tensiometer The Spinning Drop Tensiometer is a laboratory instrument used to measure interfacial tension (IFT). This measurement is crucial in Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR) studies and evaluating the effectiveness of surfactants in reducing interfacial tension between oil and formation fluids.

Densitometer is used to measure the density of fluids, both liquids or gas. It plays a vital role in fluid characterization of reservoirs and in designing EOR scenarios involving injected fluids.

Rheometer is a laboratory device used to measure the rheology or flow resistance of fluids, including non-Newtonian fluids such as polymers. This tool is essential in polymer flooding research and design, enabling in-depth analysis of polymer flow behavior, which is critical to the success of field-scale injection processes.

Contact Angle Meter is an instrument used to measure the contact angle between a fluid droplet and a solid surface (such as rock). It plays an important role in the development and evaluation of surfactant flooding, as it directly measures changes in the wettability of reservoir rocks due to surfactant interaction.

This accreditation is not merely a technical achievement, but also part of the Laboratory’s vision Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR) ITB to become a national center of excellence in EOR testing and technology development. Moving forward, our laboratory will continue to enhance its competencies, both in terms of human resources and facilities, to support the transformation of Indonesia’s energy industry towards greater efficiency and sustainability. We are ready to be your strategic partner in delivering EOR solutions that are not only advanced, but also officially recognized and trusted.
