PERTT Lab

Trusted by Industry Leaders

Since the 1980s, the LSU Petroleum Engineering Research, Training & Testing (PERTT) Lab has evolved into a multi-million-dollar hub of innovation. Trusted by global energy leaders—ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Chevron, and others—PERTT is where cutting-edge ideas are field-tested and refined before deployment.

A Unique Facility for Real-World Validation

As the only U.S. university with six full-scale research wells, LSU PERTT Lab offers a safe, field-realistic environment to evaluate and advance technologies in:

--Oilfield operations
--Carbon capture, utilization & storage (CCUS)
--Pipeline systems
--Cybersecurity for energy infrastructure

Our industrial-scale facility supports high-pressure, multiphase flow experimentation in field-scale tubulars—replicating real-world challenges in a controlled setting.
