As independent consultant chemists we are able to bring a fresh approach to solving problems within the oil and gas industry and draw on a broad range of knowledge and services from other technologies which may be used to aid field development.

With no direct involvement in manufacture and supply OCTL has no requirement to promote one particular product or technology and hence we have freedom to investigate any area of potential use to the problem under investigation.
We also have a series of proposed research topics of interest to the oil and gas industry, and are actively seeking funding to develop these concepts.

Examples of a number of pioneering research projects are detailed and accessible via the DOCUMENT ARCHIVE page.  In order to down load you must register first.  Listed below are the current proposals you can download:
