Oil & gas · reservoir conditions
HPHT System
Microfluidic reservoir-condition testing at up to 800+ bar and 200 °C.
Applications
What you can test.
Five core application areas, all on the same HPHT platform.
EOR Screening
Rapid evaluation of chemical, thermal, and gas EOR agents at reservoir P/T. Compare dozens of formulations on a single chip.
PVT Analysis
Pressure-volume-temperature studies with direct visualization. Observe bubble point, dew point, and phase transitions in real time.
IFT Measurement
Interfacial tension measurement between crude oil and brine/surfactant systems at HPHT conditions using microfluidic techniques.
Flow Assurance
Asphaltene deposition, scale formation, and wax precipitation studies in geometries that replicate pore-scale behavior.
Rock-on-Chip
Etched silicon chips replicating actual rock pore networks. Study displacement mechanisms in your specific reservoir geology.
Reservoir chip cross-section

Why microfluidics
Faster. Cheaper. More informative.
Microfluidics delivers order-of-magnitude gains in reservoir-fluid testing.
10–100×
Speed
Screen EOR agents and reservoir conditions in days, not months. Parallel on-chip experiments sharply cut timelines.
1000×
Sample volume
Microliters instead of milliliters. Test rare or expensive fluids without consuming your whole sample.
pore-scale
Visual insight
Real-time optical imaging: fluid displacement, wettability changes, phase behavior at reservoir conditions.
lower
Cost
Substantially lower material and labor costs versus classical core-flood testing.

Market position
One of three companies worldwide.
LABADVANCE is the only provider of HPHT microfluidic testing services and equipment in the CIS. Just two other companies worldwide offer comparable on-chip pressure and temperature capability.
Unlike competitors who inflate datasheet figures, our 800+ bar rating reflects real, sustained operating conditions proven in production environments with major operators.
Key differentiators
Reservoir conditions — 800+ bar
Proprietary chip-holder design (own IP)
Service + equipment business model
