Well Testing Services
Longevity in the service industry demonstrates dependability, experience and keeping your word to customers. In 1972, Stric-Lan was founded as a well testing company. Remaining true to our roots, we continue to test some of the most prolific and problematic wells in nearly every region in the country. Our objective on every project is to efficiently and effectively meet and exceed the needs and goals of our clients.
It’s simple: we take a consultative approach by providing clients with custom solutions so they can focus on production. Our team of experts work together to provide customers with the right personnel and equipment to execute their project. In addition, customers also receive custom reporting and have access to 24/7 communication with operations and account managers because our customers are a top priority. Stric-Lan has proficiently executed services in over 5,000 ft. of water on floating deep-water rigs and platforms, and at 3,000 ft. of elevation on multi-well pads in the Marcellus and Utica Shales. We’ve worked on mountains in 20″ of snow and on 110°F days in the desert. These combined multidisciplinary experiences prove we can handle anything that comes our way.
Flowback Services
The expertise developed during nearly fifty (50) years of well testing services has proven to be very useful in flowback operations. In fact, the lines have blurred significantly and occasionally overlap. Our experience in testing some of the most prolific wells in the world has been very useful in flowback large pads with 5, 6, 7 or even 10 wells. Our objective on every project is to efficiently and effectively meet and exceed the needs and goals of our clients.
We have tested wells in many areas of the U.S. including, but not limited to:
- Utica
- Marcellus
- Permian
- Haynesville
- Eagle Ford
- Granite Wash
- Tuscaloosa Marine
- Cotton Valley
- Austin Chalk
We, along with our customers, believe that our consultative approach serves to allow for proper preparation so that our clients can focus on other things while being confident in our ability to get the job done. Our team of experts work together to provide customers with the right personnel and equipment to execute their project. In addition, customers also receive custom reporting and have access to 24/7 communication with operations and account managers because our customers are a top priority.

Stric-Lan is known for its experience and could not have that without a great relationship with our people. During the 2020 COVID crises, Stric-Lan decided to keep its best, most experienced personnel. Many companies went a different direction – cutting costs first. We knew that our core values would not be represented without our best people.
Stric-Lan has always had long term personnel, and currently, the company has multiple 30-yr, 25-yr, 20-yr and 10+-yr employees. Our average employee currently has over 12 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry.
Safety, training and excellent service are at the top of Stric-Lan’s priority list. We have strict policies in place to ensure our priorities continue to align with the company’s vision for growth.

Flowback & Clean Up
Cleaning up, or flowing a well until the production equipment can take on the well bore fluids without system upsets from various solid or liquid contaminants, is a large part of the traditional well testing process. Utilizing portable production equipment to take on solids, introduced slurries and chemicals, waters and/or other fluids or solids that can create problems in the production process can pay huge dividends. It’s likely, Stric-Lan has performed more flowbacks and cleanups in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Gulf Coast than any other company.

Fluid Management
Stric-Lan can handle directing and managing well bore fluids in many different situations. Accurately measuring fluids is critical in both the completions and production phases. Environmental factors including disposal and potential loss of containment are key issues that must be addressed through the proper systems; excellent, well maintained equipment and experienced personnel.
In addition, recovery and reuse of drilling and completions fluids through properly flowing the well can save tremendous costs. Finally, reducing potential non productive time (NPT) and improving safety go hand-in-hand with proper management of the various well bore fluids and effluent that are second nature to Stric-Lan.
