BYU SPE Tours TerraTek

BYU SPE Students toured TerraTek yesterday in Salt Lake City.  We got to visit their labs and learned about their equipment, processes, and what they do. They have the largest rock mechanics lab in the world, a full-sized drill rig, drilling and completions laboratories, unconventional reservoir characterization lab, SEM lab, petrology lab, fracture conductivity and proppant embedment lab, XRD lab, and a engineering and equipment manufacturing area. It was awesome!  Thanks TerraTek!
