Interface was founded on the idea that laboratory technology needed to be adapted to help the oil and gas industry solve some of the key problems operators were facing. Specifically, the founders knew that microfluidics could unlock data that operators hadn’t seen before. This data would help them make better decisions faster, while being able to actually show them fluid interactions that wouldn’t have been previously possible.
Imagine a laboratory with liters of reagents and samples, where each operation takes place in individual vessels and instruments. What if all of the laboratory functions could be integrated in a single small portable circuit, or chip, with higher efficiencies, extremely low material consumption (down to nano/pico-liters in fluid volume), less waste production, much faster response time, and more control over the operating condition with real-time monitoring capabilities?
Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) employs the horizontal well pair drilling technique to inject steam into bitumen formations. SAGD involves injecting a large volume of steam from the upper horizontal well,…
Just how tight is shale? How difficult is it for oil to flow through this rock compared to much more permeable rock like sandstone? Do lab tests at the beaker-scale…
You’ve invested the time, effort, and capital, investigating where next to drill. After locating oil, it’s time to set up your drilling production. Right? Wrong.Oils found across Alberta have massive…
Three individuals - involved in different elements of an industry ripe for transformation - independently realized that there was a large problem and a major opportunity. That industry is oil…
