Analytical Services
We operate a world-wide network of analytical laboratories, many of them accredited according to ISO 17025. Through this network clients also have access to several competence centers in various parts of the world.


Down- and upstream
The analytical laboratories are knowledge centers for commodity testing and quality issues. Down- and upstream petroleum and chemical industries benefit from the state-of-the-art laboratory technology and the extensive experience of the professional chemists with a wide range of international testing standards. Our test results are used by research departments in the industry, refinery and plant operators, product developers, commercial traders, governmental bodies, HSE officers, logistic managers, engineering firms, allocation offices and many more.


We operate and manage third party industrial laboratories through outsourcing partnerships with refineries and plant owners.


Correlation programme
Our network of laboratories maintains an in-company inter laboratory correlation program, to ensure consistent and accurate analytical results over the entire network. We appreciate the added value of providing results that are the same wherever in the world it is measured.


Global LIMS
We maintain global operational standards to ensure the highest reliability. A truly global LIMS system allows us to efficiently control the quality of our network, to allocate samples to other locations and to consolidate data globally measured for our clients.


Specialized arbitration
When you are disputing the quality of a commodity with your vendor or supplier, or claiming a loss of quality at a logistic service provider, Saybolt offers specialized arbitration possibilities in one of their competence centers. Our professionals assist you to solve claims on the basis of secured facts finding.
