About Us

A leading indigenous core data service center serving major regional operators since 1992.

Over 30 Years of Technical Ground Truth

Location Sample Service (LSS Nigeria Limited) began operations in 1992 as an industry focal point for direct reservoir data generation. We became 100% indigenous owned in 2004, steadily evolving into the regional provider of choice for core evaluation services.

Reservoir engineering demands zero compromises. That is why our modern petrophysical procedures reject estimates, and focus on valid API-compliant physical ground truth testing instead.

Our team works alongside national, regional, and international E&P corporations. We deliver precise metrics to calibrate formation evaluation curves and derisk extraction strategies.

LSS Laboratory Facilities

Our Journey

How our technical infrastructure expanded to service major West African oil & gas developments.

1992
First physical laboratories set up in Nigeria to provide operational routine logging services.
2004

Quality & HSE

Strict domestic lab protocols paired with rigorous industry quality controls.

Rigorous Lab Protocols

Every sample that arrives at our facility is assigned a distinct tracking identifier. This system safeguards sample integrity and ensures a clear chain of custody throughout the analysis process.

Our operational standards maintain strict testing procedures to prevent anomalies in client data:

✔️

Regular Equipment Calibrations

Automated permeameters and porosimeters are checked daily using calibrated sample blanks to eliminate instrument drift.

✔️

Multi-Stage Data Validation

Every raw petrophysical measurement undergoes multi-stage QC checks by senior petrophysicists prior to release.

✔️

Full HSE Risk Management

Strict hazardous materials handling, air filtration, and waste disposal protocols keep our team safe and protect the environment.
