The head of the crude oil and fuels department at the General Administration of Laboratories, Research and Petroleum Studies, Dr. Walid Saleh Ibrahim, said that the laboratory was designed with high capabilities to ensure the quality control of crude oil and all petroleum derivatives, including all types of jet gas, gasoline, diesel, furnace, cooking gas, lubricating oils, grease, water, measurement and calibration, explaining that each product is held to an international specification.
He stated that the laboratory building was designed with three floors in mind, according to international specifications, and contains a number of devices and equipment for the aforementioned crude and derivatives, indicating that the laboratory took into account the availability of all the aids that ensure that the internal and external environment of the laboratory is not affected, indicating that the project will work to accommodate young new graduates with experience from other laboratories.
