Training

The Petroleum Engineering Research & Technology Transfer Laboratory (PERTT Lab) provides a versatile research environment for performing multiphase flow experiments on field scale tubulars at high pressures. Since its development in the early 1980s, this facility represents a two million dollar investment by industrial and governmental interests.  A full time laboratory support staff maintains their offices at this site. In addition, the PERTT Lab employs student workers for routine maintenance work and research support. This facility is an industrial-scale facility, having full-scale equipment and instrumentation for conducting research related to borehole technology.  PERTT originally assembled most of this equipment for blowout prevention research and training activities.
