Trusted. Reliable. Unmatched. Exact.

At Pantechs Laboratories, TRUEassay defines the standard for precision in hydrocarbon testing and analysis. Built on over five decades of petroleum laboratory expertise, TRUEassay combines modern instrumentation, proven analytical methods, and a relentless commitment to data integrity. Our clients rely on TRUEassay for dependable, regulation-compliant results across a wide range of natural gas, crude oil, condensate, and NGL testing services.

What Is Hydrocarbon Analysis?

Hydrocarbon analysis is the process of measuring the composition and physical properties of petroleum products, natural gas, condensate, and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The resulting data helps operators verify product quality, support custody transfer, optimize production, and meet regulatory requirements. Pantechs Laboratories performs hydrocarbon analysis using ASTM, GPA, and API methodologies to deliver accurate and dependable results.

Comprehensive Analytical Capabilities

TRUEassay offers a full spectrum of petroleum and natural gas laboratory analyses designed to meet today’s demanding operational and regulatory requirements. Our services include:

    • Diverse sulfur analyses and speciation, utilizing multiple detection technologies for total sulfur, mercaptan sulfur, and speciated sulfur compounds.
    • Comprehensive crude oil testing, including compositional, automated vapor pressure, density and API gravity, and distillation properties for accurate fluid characterization.
    • Flash gas determination and liquid recovery testing to meet ASTM, GPA, and API standards for custody transfer, process design, and field optimization.
    • Extended hydrocarbon and compositional analyses to support accurate gas and liquid property calculations.

Modern Instrumentation. Proven Accuracy.

Our laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art analytical instruments and automated data systems that ensure consistency, repeatability, and rapid turnaround.

Hydrocarbon Testing & Analysis FAQs

What is hydrocarbon analysis?

Hydrocarbon analysis measures the composition and physical properties of natural gas, crude oil, condensate, and NGLs to support quality control, custody transfer, and operational decision-making.

Pantechs performs testing according to ASTM International, GPA Midstream Association, and American Petroleum Institute (API) standards, along with other recognized industry methodologies. These standards help ensure accurate measurements, consistent reporting, and reliable results for natural gas, crude oil, condensate, NGL, and sulfur analysis application

TRUEassay supports analysis of natural gas, crude oil, condensate, NGLs, and other hydrocarbon streams.

 

Accurate hydrocarbon analysis helps operators verify product quality, optimize operations, support custody transfer, and maintain regulatory compliance.

Results are provided through Pantechs reporting systems, including secure online access through TRUEsight.

Yes. Sulfur speciation analysis requires dedicated instrumentation configured specifically for sulfur compounds to minimize losses and preserve sample integrity. Sulfur species can be highly reactive and may degrade or be lost if samples are not properly collected, handled, and analyzed. Pantechs utilizes specialized sulfur analytical systems and proven methodologies to ensure accurate sulfur speciation measurements

Sulfur speciation identifies individual sulfur compounds rather than only measuring total sulfur content. Understanding sulfur composition helps operators evaluate product quality, processing impacts, corrosion risks, environmental compliance requirements, and treatment effectiveness.
