The oil and gas industry is a highly complex conglomerate of “upstream”—the exploration and production sector in the industry—and “downstream”—the sector that deals with refining and processing, distribution and marketing sectors.
Companies operating in the industry may be fully integrated, (i.e., have both upstream and downstream interests), may concentrate on a particular sector (such as exploration and production, commonly known as an E&P company), or may concentrate just on refining and marketing (an R&M company). Many large companies operate globally, the “multi-nationals,” while other smaller companies concentrate on specific regions of the world and are often referred to as “independents.” In the upstream and downstream sectors, much reliance is placed upon oil field service companies and other contractor companies who provide specialist technical services to the industry.
Rigaku fulfills the role of such a service company, supplying analytical measurement technology to these various vendors based on well founded spectroscopic techniques. Rigaku is pleased to present a view of the integrated role of XRF, XRD and Raman techniques in the oil and gas industry.
Rigaku has long been a supplier of XRF and XRD equipment, focused on high quality, precision engineering to produce instrumentation with outstanding performance characteristics. In keeping with its long history of excellence, Rigaku now offers a complete line of material science solutions for the petroleum industry, from exploration to crude oil production, from transport of the crude oil to final refinery products, and from the blending tanks to the gasoline pumps, the lube oil vending stands and the tire companies.
