The PMRE department maintains two well-equipped laboratories- 1) Analytical lab and 2) Petrophysical lab. These are primarily for graduate studies and advanced research. In addition to teaching and research, these facilities are also used to provide testing, training and consultation services to companies involved in the petroleum, minerals and energy sector of Bangladesh. Tests are performed following international standards like ASTM, GPA and ISO.
