PERTT Lab
The LSU Petroleum Engineering Research & Technology Transfer Laboratory (PERTT Lab or The Well Facility) provides a versatile research environment for performing multiphase flow experiments on field scale tubulars at high pressures. Since its development in the early 1980s, this facility represents a multimillion dollar investment by industrial and governmental interests. A full-time laboratory support staff maintains their offices at this site. In addition, the PERTT Lab employs student workers for routine maintenance work and research support.
