Effective sampling cylinder and equipment management is essential for offshore oil and gas operations, ensuring the availability of compliant cylinders for collecting and transporting hydrocarbon, gas, water, and chemical samples.
Flexible Sampling Cylinder and Analytical Equipment Rental Solutions
Access the sampling cylinders and analytical equipment you need, when you need them.
Whether for routine operations, shutdowns, well testing, or specialist sampling campaigns, we can provide a wide range of cylinders and equipment to support your offshore and onshore analysis requirements, subject to availability.
Benefits include:
- Reduced capital expenditure on equipment purchases
- Elimination of storage and maintenance requirements for infrequently used items
- Rapid access to a wide range of cylinder and equipment types and specifications
- Including specialised sample cylinders, which are coated internally to handle samples that contain volatile elements and compounds such as mercury and hydrogen sulphide
- Improved operational flexibility for short-term and project-based requirements
- Simplified asset and inventory management
Where additional or specialist equipment is required, we can also source from approved third-party suppliers and manage the entire rental process on your behalf, including administration and billing. This provides a single point of contact, reduces internal workload, and helps ensure equipment is available when and where they are needed.
At Intertek, our sample cylinder and equipment rental options are trusted and valued by a wide range of clients in the oil and gas industry. This cost-effective, hassle-free solution allows your team to focus on operations while we manage the cylinder and equipment logistics.
Cylinder and equipment Management
A structured management programme provides visibility of cylinder location, certification status, maintenance requirements, and utilisation, reducing the risk of misplaced, expired, or unavailable equipment. This helps prevent delays to sampling campaigns and ensures reliable analytical results.
Konciv: Cylinder and Equipment Client Portal gives our clients full visibility via portal access to provide control and efficiency, reducing loss, improving compliance and optimising asset utilisation.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced Asset Visibility – Real-time tracking of cylinder and equipment status, location, and movement supports better operational planning and scheduling.
- Improved Compliance & Reliability – Visibility of inspection, certification, and calibration dates helps ensure equipment remains compliant while enabling proactive maintenance and reducing downtime.
- Online Documentation Storage – Access to certification and service paperwork for individual equipment and easy storage of procedures and sampling guidelines or inspection forms.
- Cost Control – Full oversight of rental assets and hire periods helps eliminate unnecessary rental charges, improve utilisation, and reduce operating costs.
- Data-Driven Decision Making – Easy access to management information and reporting provides valuable insights to support performance monitoring, planning, and continuous improvement.
By maintaining control of both owned and rental cylinders, operators can improve safety, reduce expenditure, ensure regulatory compliance, and ensure the safe availability of critical sampling equipment to support efficient offshore operations.
Cylinder Maintenance and Repair
Our experienced team can clean, inspect, and prepare your sampling cylinders for reuse before they are returned to your asset, saving valuable time and internal resources.
Safety is another key benefit of effective sampling cylinder management. Sampling cylinders are pressure-containing equipment and must be maintained in accordance with relevant industry standards and company procedures. Regular inspection, testing, and certification reduce the risk of equipment failure, leaks, contamination, or incidents during handling and transportation. Proper cylinder management also supports compliance with transportation regulations for hazardous materials and internal asset integrity requirements.
Proactive maintenance reduces the risk of equipment failure, leaks, contamination, and operational delays. Intertek can support repair or replacement for any damage sustained to the gauges or valves during transit or handling.
A complete lifecycle service designed to keep your sampling cylinders operational, compliant, and available when you need them most.
