Test bays & workshops

OEG delivers customised gas lift labs for the safe testing, calibration, and preparation of gas lift valves used in artificial lift systems. Designed for workshop or offshore use, our modular and containerised facilities provide a controlled environment for valve charging, pressure testing, ageing, and performance verification before field deployment.

Gas lift valves help optimise oil and gas production by controlling high-pressure gas injection into the wellbore. Accurate set-up and testing are essential to maintain valve integrity, improve flow efficiency, and support reliable well performance.

OEG’s in-house training and technical support packages can be tailored to suit onshore and offshore operational requirements.

Solutions include:

• Valve dome charging units with precision nitrogen pressure gauges
• High-pressure 'Ager units' for multi-valve ageing and performance testing
• Temperature-controlled baths to replicate field operating conditions

OEG designs and delivers customised pressure control systems for the safe testing of tubulars, completion assemblies, and downhole tools. Built for controlled workshop environments or portable offshore applications, our systems help operators monitor, regulate, and maintain pressure during critical testing operations.

Our in-house engineering and fabrication teams work closely with customers to design, build, and install tailored pressure test solutions that simulate high-pressure conditions, validate seals, and confirm tool integrity before deployment.

With comprehensive operator training and ongoing aftercare support, OEG ensures every system is safe, reliable, and built for long-term performance.

Solutions include:

• Permanent pressure test structures
• Modular and transportable pressure control systems
• Containerised test bays
