Regulatory Services
Introduction
ARC provides a range of regulatory testing services. These services include the performance of all necessary field operations as well as the completion of all applicable regulatory forms.

Design
ARC will work closely with customers to help design the optimal test. Many regulatory tests such as four-point tests are relatively complex and require a good deal of information to design and conduct.

Regulatory agencies occasionally modify test rules and procedures. ARC keeps up with these developments to help ensure that tests comply with the latest requirements.

When necessary, ARC will call the appropriate regulatory authorities for specific rulings on special conditions or questions concerning any regulatory procedures we perform on behalf of our clients.

Service / Compliance
The policy of ARC Pressure Data Inc. is to sign appropriate regulatory forms as a “third-party” tester provided compliance is maintained regarding ALL regulatory requirements.

It should always be remembered that when conducting tests for government agencies all regulatory requirements have to be addressed. Sometimes this entails additional work compared to an equivalent test conducted solely for data acquisition purposes and sometimes it entails less. By understanding these requirements before a test is designed and conducted, a number of potential problems and misunderstandings can be avoided.
Surface pressure gauges can be utilized for the testing of many dry gas wells and water injection wells. Both strain gauge and quartz transducers are available for this purpose.
