ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY

In line with Laser’s Quality policy, the Environmental Laboratory’s vision is to be a world class Certified Laboratory for research, analysis and training in production chemistry and environmental issues in the Oil & Gas and manufacturing industries. To actualize this vision, the Laboratory’s activities are driven by the following quality objectives:

• To provide information for meeting the requirements of the environmental laws and regulations.
• To provide defendable and accurate laboratory data.
Laser Environmental Laboratory is ISO 17025:2017 accredited as per Laboratory testing and certified to ISO 9001:205. We also have other certifications/ accreditations by regulators as listed below:
• Institute of Public Analyst in Nigeria (IPAN)
• Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC)
• National Oil Spill Detection and Regulatory Agency (NOSDRA)
• National Environmental Standards and Regulatory Enforcement Agency (NESREA)
• Federal Ministry of Environment (FMEnv)
• Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPR)

Using standard methods with state-of-the-art equipment, some of the services we offer are broadly categorized as:
