HPHT Test Bench for Carbonation Studies in Corrosive Media
For a major energy group, we designed an HPHT test bench (140 bar, 130°C) for carbonation studies. The Hastelloy C-276 solution resists corrosive fluids (salt water, CO2).
Geoscience & Subsurface Studies
Our expertise lies in designing custom test benches that simulate deep geological conditions (High Pressure High Temperature). We develop complex systems for geoscience and subsurface studies, serving all energy sectors.
This includes geomechanics (uniaxial/triaxial presses for rock characterization), pressurized fluid characterization (PVT laboratories), and fluid-rock interaction analysis (core flood systems, osmosis benches).
Our know-how also extends to geological storage applications (CO₂ and hydrogen storage) and material integrity for geothermal energy. The projects below are examples of our capacity to meet the challenges of the energy transition.
High-Precision Osmosis Test Bench for Argillite Studies
For the BRGM, we designed an osmosis test bench. It measures tiny liquid flows (20 µL/day) through argillite samples under 50 bar confinement.
Multi-Cell 400 bar / 250°C Test Bench for Formation Damage Analysis
For an energy leader, this multi-cell bench (400 bar, 250°C) simulates formation damage from drilling fluids, including corrosive acids (HCl).
Custom Hastelloy C276 HPHT Reactor System for Geoscience Research
For geoscience research, we designed this bench of 6 HPHT reactors. The use of Hastelloy C276 ensures maximum resistance to corrosive fluids.
High precision core plugging machine

3-in-1 Uniaxial Tester (CUT) for Petroleum Rock Characterization
Design of a 3-in-1 press (20kN) for SONATRACH, combining uniaxial compression (UCS), tensile, and 3-point bending tests on one indexed mobile table.
Curing chamber
This accelerated aging test bench is designed to assess material durability under user-defined temperature and pressure constraints in a controlled environment.
Custom HPHT Triaxial Testing Press for Geomechanics Research
This triaxial testing equipment enables in-situ analysis of rocks and cements under confining pressure, pore pressure, and axial stress, simulating geological conditions.
