Lab and Tech Support

Benchmark Energy Products operates three well-equipped labs – a Q/A and Q/C lab at our Midland, Texas, production facility, a fundamental research and product development lab in Houston, Texas, and a polymer slurry Q/A and Q/C lab at our Rock Springs, Wyoming production facility. While the Midland and Rock Springs labs are primarily charged with insuring the quality of our raw materials and finished products and providing technical support, they also work with our Houston lab on new product research and development. Our laboratories are equipped with a full range of testing and analytical equipment, including:
