It’s been an interesting and busy week for Cambridge Viscosity. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, (June 7-9, 2021), we attended Petro Phase 2021 as a virtual seminar. The 2020 seminar was canceled last year due to COVID restrictions, so it was nice to get back to the conference circuit, albeit virtually. If you missed the live event but are interested in seeing the material, it’s available (through registration) until the end of July.
We’ve done a handful of virtual conferences over the past year or so, and Petro Phase was done really well. There were several good keynote speakers, and a wealth of presentations that were available. Cambridge Viscosity shared our virtual booth with our parent company PAC and fellow business unit Advanced Sensors. The virtual booth allowed us to set up links to our websites, videos, and other sales tool that our booth visitors may be interested in. There was a chatroom that allowed us start conversations with our visitors in real time.
Not surprisingly, we spent a good bit of time talking about the ViscoLab PVT, which is our high-pressure, high-temperature viscometer. It is designed to measure viscosity under extreme conditions commonly found in oil recovery applications. Because it uses our oscillating piston technology, characterized by a single moving part (the piston), driven electromagnetically through fluid in the measurement chamber, the ViscoLab PVT is extremely stable, reliable, and self-cleaning. It can go for extended periods of time without maintenance, even in tough environments, which is important when it comes to oil and gas applications, where viscosity can be highly variable, depending on environmental temperature and pressure (as well as the molecular makeup of the raw material.)
The ViscoLab PVT effortlessly handles the challenges of oil extraction applications, delivering accurate results faster and with minimal sample than other viscometers. It also has a higher pressure rating than competitive instruments, and is available in isothermal and pressure-controlled systems. If you’re interested in hearing more about the PVT, we’re happy to set up a call with you.
While virtual tradeshows have their perks – such as being able to attend without leaving your couch – all of us at Cambridge Viscosity are excited to return to normal business and in-person events. We’ll be at our first in-person tradeshow since the pandemic started in August. We’ll be joining PAC and Advanced Sensors at the Offshore Technology Conference on August 16-19 at NRG Park in Houston, Texas. We’d love to see you at our booth #2966. You can register for OTC here.
