Laboratory

The Fluid and Cement Laboratory is a unit of Exalo Drilling S.A., operating as part of the Research and Development Department. Apart from ongoing testing to support maintenance activities, the Laboratory's primary task is to perform research, development, and innovation work involving drilling fluid and cement grouting technologies for drilling services. The tests carried out at the Laboratory are conducted in accordance with the API specification and PN-EN ISO standards.

The Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the--art specialised instruments produced by respected global manufacturers of petroleum industry laboratory equipment (Chandler Engineering, OFI Testing Equipment, Grease Instrument). The equipment is subjected to constant metrological supervision by accredited calibration laboratories and National Metrological Institutes. In addition, it is regularly inspected by the manufacturer's authorised service centres.
The Laboratory employees are a team of trained and competent specialists with many years of experience in laboratory and industrial work. The research laboratory Accreditation Certificate granted by PCA under accreditation number AB 1731, confirms that the Laboratory meets the requirements of the PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018-02 standard for competence, impartiality, and reliability.
The Laboratory primarily conducts tests related to water- and oil-based drilling fluids, as well as cement grouts, including:

  • designing the composition of drilling fluids and cement grouts,
  • testing, selection, and quality control of materials intended for work under various geological conditions, analysis of drilling fluids and testing the properties of cement grouts according to international standards: 
  1. drilling fluids – “Petroleum and natural gas industries. Field testing of drilling fluids” PN-EN ISO 10414; Part 1, Part 2,
  2. cement grouts – “Petroleum and natural gas industries. Cements and materials for well cementing” PN-EN ISO 10426-2.
