History
The Rock Physics Laboratory (RPL) was donated by the Unocal Corporation to HARC's Geotechnology Research Institute in 1994, subsequently transferred to the University of Houston in 2003. It is one of only a few such laboratories in the United States and the only laboratory in the Houston area solely dedicated to rock physics.
Mission
As a public, research-oriented facility, RPL supports the research efforts
of the oil and gas industry by conducting research in rock physics and by
providing analytical and evaluation services. The primary goal is to carry
out industry oriented research, investigate reservoir rock properties, and
integrate them with logging and seismic technology to solve common exploration
and production problems. RPL also works with industry to provide technical
services on proprietary projects.
