Features and Benefits
Small equipment
Our solution requires very limited space, making it possible to place it on the site. Having the analysis equipment on-site eliminates downtime and the cost needed to send samples onshore for analysis.
Robust solution
Platforms often shake from the wind and waves and corrosion is always a worry. Robustness is needed to endure this environment - the robustness of the Epsilon 1 Wells is proven by Shell, with multiple systems in use on their platforms.
Quick analysis
It takes only ~20mins to fill a 10mL sample cup, and 20 mins to run the device. Production constituents’ data are available in under 1 hour.
Simple operation
The Epsilon 1 Wells is easy to operate for rig personnel - no special lab technicians are needed, saving you money.
Key Applications
- Water composition: produced water, injection water, flowback water, aqueous treatment chemicals, scale formation, proppants, corrosion inhibitors
- Scale composition elements: barium, calcium, strontium, sulfur, phosphorus and more
- Oil composition: sulfur, nickel, vanadium, and other contaminants
- Sand/solid/metal composition, emulsion/sludge estimation
- Production contaminants monitoring (e.g. mercury and others), condensate impurities
Accessories
Epsilon 1 Wells solution accessories and smart-install:
- Guided Self-install or Self-installation training and package
- Heavy-duty flight case suited for transport by helicopter and ship
- Starting kit for successful sample preparation
- Pre-assembled sample cups
- Protective foils for optics
- Set of syringes and filters

Guided Smart Install
When correctly installed your new Epsilon 1 will give you reliable analysis results. Installing an Epsilon 1 is straightforward: unpack the system, plug it in and follow the instructions, which we will guide you through. Finally, a simple radiation test completes the installation and confirms that your system is working safely. Yes, it is that easy to start using your Epsilon 1. And, more importantly, you can rest assured that your system is supplied with the necessary safety certification.
Smart install ensures you can get new instruments up and running even when unexpected circumstances or remote locations prevent an engineer from accessing your facility. For the Epsilon 1, we offer a guided smart installation, enabling you to install the system yourself and maintain the integrity of the instrument and its safety certification.
The advantages of guided smart install:
- Get up and running fast
- Save on installation costs
- Install the system when it suits you
- Extended 15-month warranty period
