Testing Services
CNPC USA provides hydraulic fracturing fluid testing services for oil and gas operators, service companies, and chemical suppliers. Our lab supports fluid qualification, product development, formulation comparison, and troubleshooting for fracturing fluid applications.
Customers can use this page to match their testing needs with our capabilities. We organize the lab by what we can test, then show the supporting equipment used to generate technical data.
Capability-first view
The list below is organized by customer testing need, not by machine name. Supporting equipment is included so technical teams can confirm whether the lab capability matches their required test program.
For evaluating fluid behavior under ambient and simulated downhole temperature/pressure conditions.
Chandler 5550 HTHP Viscometer, Malvern Kinexus Rheometer, Grace M3600 Viscometer, and Fann 35 Viscometer.
For evaluating friction reducer performance, polymer properties, and formulation/process support.
Chandler 6700 Flow Loop, SEC-MALS Analytical System, Polymer Synthesis Setup, Gel Processor, and Fluid Bed Dryer.
For understanding how fluid systems interact with rock samples and reservoir conditions.
Grace M4085 Fluid Loss, Chandler 6100 Response Tester, Core Permeability Tester, Grace M9106 Saturator, and Rock Grinder.
For evaluating fluid flow behavior, shear-history effects, and proppant particle-size support.
Chandler 6700 Flow Loop, Chandler 5600 Shear Simulator, and Sonic Sifter.
