Intertek Caleb Brett expands crude oil testing and inspection services

With its central location and access to pipeline, waterborne and rail systems, St James Parish is the crude oil hub of Louisiana. A premier asset on the lower Mississippi River with access to US and Canadian crude supplies, this location is vital for crude oil imports and exports enabling direct access for crude carriers, refiners, distributors and trade companies.

Located near the Plains All American Pipeline Terminal the new location is a response to a growing crude oil market and demand for quick and accurate turnaround. The laboratory will provide detailed crude oil quality analysis and testing in accordance with ASTM methodologies and retain services including indefinite retain capabilities. This will allow Intertek Caleb Brett to expand their capabilities along with the region’s expected growth. With a dedicated crew of trained inspectors onsite and reachable 24 hours a day, Intertek Caleb Brett can provide a fast response time for any vessel, shore tank or rail inspection service.
