Oil & Gas Testing

Regulatory Environmental Testing – Hydraulic Fracturing Water Quality Testing

Tri-State Laboratory can collect and analyze pre-drilling and post-drilling groundwater samples from area water wells to satisfy your state agency’s requirements for oil and gas well development. Additionally, we can monitor local waters prior to hydraulic fracturing (fracking).

Many states require pre-hydraulic fracturing baseline monitoring.  Tri-State’s central location in Pikeville, Kentucky and the 3 additional area offices of parent company Summit Engineering, Inc. in West Virginia, and Kentucky place us within easy reach of the region’s gas and oil fields.

The laboratory can provide analysis of total and dissolved metals in addition to general chemistry parameters in both soil and water matrices. For other specific needs (BTEX, TPH, PAH, organics, etc.) please contact us for additional information. We have arrangements with many area laboratories in order to handle any specialized  testing requirements.
