Industries We Serve
For more than 80 years, SPL has delivered the accurate, defensible data that operators, utilities, and environmental professionals rely on when the stakes are high. Three specialized divisions. One national network. One quality standard.
We Work Where Compliance Isn't Optional
Every industry SPL serves has one thing in common: the data has to hold up. In a custody transfer dispute. A regulatory audit. A permit renewal. A legal proceeding. We built our national laboratory and field services network around that standard, and we’ve maintained it for over eight decades.
Energy Labs
Hydrocarbon Testing That Holds Up When It Counts
Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream Operators
Multi-basin operators deserve consistent methods, unified data, and a single point of accountability across every basin they operate in. SPL’s national network delivers exactly that — one quality system, one LIMS portal, and one account team in every major oil basin in the United States. Defensible data you can rely on with one partner you can trust.
Compliance-Driven Operators
Operators subject to EPA OOOOb flare compliance requirements, COGCC methane oversight, or ESG-driven investor scrutiny need certified NHV sampling and ASTM D1945 BTU analysis from a single, accountable partner. SPL delivers a turnkey OOOOb compliance program under one certified quality system.
Aviation Fuels, Military Spec, and Specialty Lubricants
SPL’s Fuels and Lubricants Laboratory offers 110+ accredited test methods including jet fuel certification, aviation turbine lubricant analysis, and Military Specification testing — a depth of coverage no regional hydrocarbon lab competitor matches.
Environmental Labs
Accredited Water, Soil, and Solids Analysis
Municipal Regulated Water and Wastewater Utilities
Water systems, suppliers, POTWs, and authorities facing MCL/RL compliance, routine monitoring programs need a certified lab partner with multi-state accreditation and the capacity to handle compliance volumes. SPL holds the certifications, the methods, and the dedicated project management to get utilities to compliance on time.
Industrial Facilities with Permit Obligations
Industrial manufacturing, chemical plants, food processors (and more), with permit reporting obligations need consistent, accredited testing with turnaround times that don’t threaten their reporting deadlines. Plus, NELAP accreditation and dedicated project management model.
Environmental Consultants and E&P Operators
Environmental consultants managing multi-state client portfolios need one lab partner with consistent accreditation, reliable chain-of-custody, and a project manager who is reachable. E&P operators need produced water, and compliance testing that integrates directly with their measurement and hydrocarbon lab data, not a separate vendor creating custody gaps.
Measurement
End-to-End Measurement Solutions
Multi-Basin Upstream and Midstream Operators
Operators managing custody transfer measurement across multiple basins face commercial exposure on every BTU discrepancy and regulatory audit risk. SPL’s reliable calibration processes, third-party audit credibility, and integrated production allocation platform protect your commercial positions and close the compliance gaps..
Compliance-Sensitive and ESG-Pressured Operators
SPL is the only measurement provider that connects field measurement, hydrocarbon lab analysis, and NELAP-accredited environmental testing through a single provider. One trusted partner providing defensible data you can rely on when and where you need it.
Investment Backed and Rapidly Scaling E&P
Growing organizations in active drilling or acquisition mode need audit-defensible measurement data for reporting now, not after the next compliance event. SPL’s scalable national MSA, and integrated data platform are built for operators who are growing faster than their vendor infrastructure
The Only Partner That Covers Energy, Environmental, and Measurement Under One Roof
No competitor in SPL’s operating geography offers the combination of ISO/IEC 17025-accredited hydrocarbon labs, NELAP-accredited environmental labs, and end-to-end field measurement services. For operators managing compliance across all three, that’s not a convenience. That’s an integrated quality system, data platforms, and one point of accountability that protects your operations when regulators, auditors, and counterparties come looking.
Your Data Has to Be Defensible. Make Sure It Is.
Whether you need hydrocarbon analysis, environmental compliance testing, or field measurement services — SPL has the national footprint, the accreditations, and the technical depth to deliver defensible data across every basin, every permit, and every regulatory deadline.
