The SGS Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK™) provides field-based sampling services, compositional analyses and production chemistry, utilizing high-quality methods and instruments.
Our RDK kit provides advanced analytical equipment mobilized to your worksite. Designed to be shipped and set up at the location of your choice, the SGS RDK fits into special purpose transport crates, so it can be transported to any destination. This portable equipment is effortlessly installed, either onshore or offshore, giving you analytical flexibility and rapid testing turnaround times with all the reliability of fixed laboratory services.
Why choose the SGS RDK solution?
The SGS RDK rapid deployment kit enables you to gain a thorough understanding of your fluid properties through a series of analytical procedures conducted at the site of your well.
Our certified technicians accompany the kit to your location. They set up the kit and measure the critical data needed to assess the potential and the underlying factors required to carry out a successful exploration and production program – even in the world’s most remote locations.
Our wide range of tests includes field sampling, compositional analyses and production chemistry.
