New England Research (NER) specializes in the measurement and interpretation of rock properties for the energy industry with equipment in the ALS Houston Laboratory. New England Research has opened a branch office in the ALS Oil & Gas Laboratory in Houston.
NER has developed new and innovative rock testing equipment and test protocols that address reservoir characterization and engineering challenges in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. The insight and experience gained as a result of these efforts allows NER to offer a line of laboratory equipment to measure rock properties at in situ conditions of stress, pore pressure, and temperature.
In addition to our wide range of rock properties measurement services and laboratory equipment, we offer hardware and software support, as well as data analysis and consulting services.
