Upstream Midstream Downstream R&D Refining LNG GTL GOSP & NGL Plants # Laboratory Automation Software for the Oil & Gas Industry #### Proven automation technology to improve efficiency, quality & productivity in any operation. Downstream GOSP & NGL Plants Top Features for Oil & Gas Testing Instrument Interfacing Tools LabWare supports laboratory automation and paperless operations with native tools that simplify the task of interfacing with a variety of laboratory analyzers and robotics platforms as well as a configurable rules engine that can be used to enable, expedite, and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the laboratory operation. LabWare includes robust interfacing tools to enable unidirectional or bidirectional communications with laboratory instruments, plate readers, liquid handling/robotics platforms, and laboratory instrument data analysis software. LabWare's built-in ASTM communications module establishes unidirectional or bidirectional communications with clinical laboratory analyzers via ASTM or proprietary instrument-specific message formats. LabWare’s integrated LabStation instrument interfacing tool can interface with various laboratory instruments via serial RS-232 communications (COM ports) or file-based import/export. LabStation parses the instrument output and automatically enters the results into LIMS, or results can be manually entered upon your review and approval. LabWare also supports bidirectional communications with third-party instrument data acquisition tools, such as Data Innovations. It has a standard HL7 interface to the Data Innovations Instrument ManagerTM Software. Integrated ELN LabWare's integrated electronic laboratory notebook provides additional capability to manage large data sets in plate based testing and flexibility to document research experiments. Data Sharing with Business Systems LabWare eliminates silos of information with an open architecture and powerful interoperability tools that enable exchange of information with other enterprise information systems via web services, file transfer, and direct database communications. LabWare MOBILE (available on Android and iOS devices) allows users to easily connect to their LabWare systems, see their data, and perform customer-defined tasks. Learn More > More Oil & Gas Features Support for Remote Operations The search for more oil and natural gas to meet an expected increase in global energy demand has led to the diversified exploration of geography and technology. Organizations have to tap new oil and gas sources in environments where significant finds are rarer and costlier to exploit. Potential fields lie deep under the seabed, in hostile and remote locations, requiring special preprocessing before transport, or are located in shale rock formations that require expensive technology to develop. LabWare LIMS and ELN provide robust and proven technology that allows operation in remote locations that is easily installed and supported. End-to-End Management LabWare LIMS is regularly used in the analysis of oil and gas from the exploration stage through to production and shipping to determine quality, and comply with ISO 17025 regulations. LIMS is widely used to track, manage and report the large volume of data generated in the laboratory. Improved efficiency, quality and productivity are delivered by automating lab processes, workflows and connecting analytical instruments for automatic data capture. Capabilities for Multi-Site Enterprises Many of our customers have multi-site enterprise implementations deployed from a central database, allowing organizations to harmonize their laboratory operations and reduce costs.  Standardization on LIMS technology allows the company to capitalize on knowledge sharing among all the laboratories and improve the availability of high-caliber expertise to support the existing labs and future expansions.

Upstream LIMS supports exploration drilling with GPS coordinates automatically added to sample registration and visual workflows displaying Google Maps positions. Geophysical analysis of rocks and sediments uses sub-samples and the typical LIMS testing facilities — including water analysis. Storage Location Manager provides management and tracking of cores. Learn More Our upstream customers search for potential underground or underwater oil and gas fields. Exploratory wells are followed by operating wells that recover and bring the crude oil and raw natural gas to the surface. Upstream exploration covers a wide range of different technologies and measurement systems. Exploration is complex, and a variety of analytical techniques and data analysis are used. Online monitoring data is often combined with lab data, and LIMS data is integrated with or sent to other corporate databases. The LabWare ELP architecture provides several tools that allow integration and data visualization via powerful visual dashboards.

Midstream LabWare LIMS is used extensively by many of the world’s leading contract testing laboratories – we are involved in both sides of the operations, both in customer and third-party independent testing. Learn More The midstream sector is primarily concerned with the transportation of oil and natural gas from the extraction site to transport terminals or directly to the refineries, including Gas Oil Separation Plants (GOSP) and Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) processing facilities.  Here, the associated gas from the oil wells is separated from the main crude oil. GOSP processing generally includes sweetening (removal of salt and H2S), drying (removal of water) and stabilization (removal of associated gas). NGL plants then fractionate and purify the gas section into products for distribution as fuel or petrochemical feedstock (e.g. ethane, propane, butane, iso-butane, etc). The stabilized crude oil is pumped along pipelines and stored in settling tanks at terminals for export by ship, road, or train. In-process product quality is monitored at pumping stations, and equipment such as pumps are monitored for failure prediction using LabWare Interpretation Manager. LabWare Investigation Manager can be used to determine the root cause of the failure. At the terminals, oil is sampled in layers (for example upper, middle and lower in accordance with ASTM D4057 and ISO 3170) to allow for density distribution. This provides advanced feedback to the commercial department before crude arrives at the import terminal – with the sampling and analysis often performed by Contract Testing organizations.  LabWare LIMS is used extensively by many of the world’s leading contract testing laboratories – we are involved in both sides of the operations, both in customer and third-party independent testing.

Downstream LabWare provides analysis for the distribution network for diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel in many locations worldwide. Learn More The downstream oil sector includes oil refineries and the selling and distribution of natural gas and products derived from crude oil. Such products include liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline or petrol, jet fuel, diesel oil, heating oil, lubricants, asphalt, and petroleum coke. LabWare provides analysis for the distribution network for diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel in many locations worldwide. Products are delivered to distribution points across regions, where samples are then analyzed to check that there has been no contamination during transportation. The storage facilities at the distribution centers are checked for the settling of the products and then the road tankers that are used to ship the products to the filling stations are checked as they are loaded - with tankers being reviewed randomly as they leave the distribution facility. Testing is fully automated and includes distillation, flash point, RON, MON and density.

Learn More Natural gas, mostly methane, is typically gathered from underground or undersea wells using a complex piping network. Following treatment to remove other analyzed components to set levels, the natural gas is cooled to -162°C when it turns it into a colorless, non-toxic liquid and shrinks its volume by 600 times, making it easier to ship overseas to energy-hungry consumers in specially designed cryogenic carriers. LabWare LIMS has been successfully implemented in LNG plants, monitoring treatment process stages and vessel loading.
