Our laboratory provides technical support and research with its qualified technical team of chemical engineers, petroleum engineers, geologists and laboratory technicians.

In support of our petroleum and mining activities, we assist the Hydrocarbons Directorate and the Mineral and Drilling Directorate in the identification and development of mineral and organic substances in the Malagasy soil and subsoil. For that purpose, we respond to their needs for specific analyses and studies.

As part of promoting the sector in which we operate, we also propose an important range of services including tests, analyses and expertise to meet the needs of mining and petroleum operators, industrial companies and researchers.

We are currently in the process of accrediting our laboratory to ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 to establish a quality management system that will enable our partners to benefit from reliable and compliant analytical services. Their trust is our priority.
