Sherry Laboratories services the oil and gas industry with hydrocarbon analyses, consulting, training and auditing services. By utilizing a state-of-the-art gas-chromatography-oriented laboratory and industry accepted analytical methods, we perform an array of analyses on natural gas, liquefied natural gas and related petroleum products to determine various physical and chemical characteristics of natural gas and petroleum products.

Sherry Laboratories can also meet the oil and gas industry's needs for analytical reference standards of the highest quality. We manufacture certified reference standards that are traceable to the National Institute of Standards Technology for calibration of custom gravimetric research. Sherry Laboratories is a member of the Gas Processors Suppliers Association (GPSA) and maintains an active role in the development of GPA standards.

If you have any questions relating to Sherry's petrochemical capabilities, please call us at (337) 232-3568.
