Expro Group Installs Networked Chromatography Data System
 Justice
Laboratory Software is pleased to announce that Expro
International Group PLC (“Expro” or “Expro Group”), a
leading oilfield service provider to the upstream oil and
gas industry, has chosen Chrom Perfect® for its
chromatography data acquisition, analysis and reporting.
Version 5.5.2 of Chrom Perfect Spirit was successfully
installed at the company’s main laboratory site in Reading,
UK in summer 2005, with the first mobile lab deployed in
Oman shortly after. Further multiple field installations are
planned.
The Expro Group contacted Justice Laboratory Software when
its gas chromatography data acquisition and instrument
control could no longer be addressed by existing software
systems.
“In the past we experienced the problem of latest software
revisions not supporting our older gas chromatography files.
With Chrom Perfect it
was a different story. When we evaluated the software it was
clear that Chrom Perfect contains all the tools required to
obtain accurate and complete results from oil sample
analysis.
We were particularly pleased that the system offers full
support and instrument control for all our gas
chromatographs, without requiring any additional investment
in proprietary and expensive hardware.”
- Sue Pearson, Laboratory Manager, Expro Group
Like many forward thinking companies, Expro recognizes the
importance of moving its chromatography systems to a secure
network environment.
“While many vendors offer some degree of instrument control,
the Chrom Perfect approach configures each GC with a
dedicated IP address, which allows connectivity via a
standard Ethernet port.
This enables our new system to be managed, maintained and
operated from any PC on the network. Additionally we have
full instrument and auto sampler control on all our
instruments and have managed to increase our laboratory desk
space by removing instrument interfaces and reducing
cabling.” -
Rouan Tulloch, IT & Instrumentation Specialist, Expro Group
The Expro Group is just one of the multinational companies
that have come to rely on the power and flexibility of
Justice Laboratory Software's products. In a market where
instrument manufacturers and other third parties are
producing products which are increasingly proprietary and
inflexible, Chrom Perfect® offers the real
alternative cross-platform chromatography data management
system which uses STANDARD chromatography
instrumentation, computing hardware and networking
infrastructure.
Jim Russell was project manager for this installation:-
 "For
the past 18 months, Justice Laboratory Software has enjoyed
unprecedented success in the USA installing large network
products to leading oil & gas companies. The installation of
Chrom Perfect for the Expro Group is the first major
European project of this type where all data acquisition is
carried over the customer’s network.
We are proud to be able to offer a solution which does not
attempt to force a customer to purchase new hardware that
they do not want or need. Justice Laboratory Software has
been developing chromatography software specifically
designed for gas chromatography for almost 20 years. We will
continue to support ALL chromatography instruments and allow
our customers to use their existing chromatographs – WITHOUT
PREJUDICE.”-
