It is crucial to verify the proper operation and function of completion tools before running them into a well bore. Product testing services are available to test tools in simulated downhole well conditions at OES testing facility.
OES utilizes two seperate test cells to test completion tools in order to qualify them and / or certify them for our customers. This page describes Test Cell #1 and all of its capabilities and specifications.
