SapphireLab® Microfluidic Instruments

Interface Fluidics provides advanced laboratory services for subsurface energy applications, leveraging its proprietary SapphireLab® microfluidic technology to deliver high-resolution insights into fluid behavior under true reservoir conditions.

Fracturing Fluid Testing

  • Compatibility testing of fracturing fluids with hydrocarbons and brines
  • Evaluation of productivity impacts and identification of potential formation damage
  • Optimization of additive packages to maximize recovery efficiency

Flow Assurance Studies

  • Investigation of wax, scale, emulsion, and asphaltene challenges
  • Screening and ranking of inhibitor chemistries under reservoir conditions
  • Risk assessment for flowline and surface facility operations

PVT & Phase Behavior Characterization

  • Constant Composition Expansion (CCE) for black oils and retrograde gas condensates
  • Density and viscosity measurement of single-phase hydrocarbons at reservoir pressure
  • Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) determination
  • Oil swelling factor measurement for gas injection studies

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Evaluation

  • Screening of polymer, surfactants and solvent chemistries for production enhancement
  • Quantification of displacement efficiency under reservoir-representative conditions
  • Comparative analysis across candidate formulations for optimal selection
