  • We offer highly sophisticated equipment. I would rank Insight Analytical as our most technically astute distributors. They understand our product and they understand technology and oil and gas analysis. Insight Analytical is well integrated into the fabric of the Canadian oil and gas markets and this has been helpful in getting us repeat customers.

    What Insight does well is listen and understand the problem, and then articulate what they can do for the customer. Many times they also go beyond that. Phil and his team are able to put together solutions that address the current technical issues, then work with our instrument, or get another instrument to work in conjunction with it, or bring in other components to address the problem, so the customer receives a complete solution.

    I never have to second guess the accuracy of the information I receive from Insight Analytical both on a technical or personal level, which is very important to me.

    In my line of work, I need analyzers that don’t rely on combustion for measurement. Combustion-based analyzers tend to accumulate gunk when analyzing Montney C5+ liquids, eventually failing and leaving the plant without a way to monitor stabilizer operation. When stabilizers aren’t dialed in properly, it can cost millions of dollars in annual revenue—all because the analyzer isn't telling the operator how optimized the system is.

    That’s why I appreciate Insight Analytical’s technology—it eliminates these runtimes and combustion clogging issues, ensuring continuous monitoring of stabilizers. Their approach is innovative, reliable, and built with the client in mind. I also enjoy working with Insight because they have a family-style business culture, are nimble, and make decisions quickly; they also have exceptional field support. Scott gets things done and provides the kind of service I really appreciate. Phil is incredible to work with—he’s a true wizard in this industry and someone a lot of us young engineers really look up to.

    If you're producing any sort of liquids in oil and gas, you should absolutely be using Insight Analytical’s technology.

  • Phil and the Insight Analytical team work as though they are sitting with my folks and working with them. Where they have stepped in, in a big way, is to educate my team and give them the knowledge and confidence to deal with analyzer vendors, know the terminology and understand what they are asking for. This helps them to take on more scope for analyzer projects.

    What I appreciate about Phil is his honesty and transparency. He will tell my team if something isn’t going to work.

    The team at Insight wants to do all the right things. They want to help their clients and the EPCs find solutions. As a leader, Phil is hardworking, determined and has a big heart. He has the knowledge and expertise to check all the boxes.

    Insight Analytical has supported recent projects in supplying compositional analyzer technologies; providing detailed visibility on what (fluid components) are going into their pipeline. If things are going off specification or otherwise, which can have lots of implications downstream and can affect integrity, this allows them to shut things down and get the problem fixed. Insight’s technology was the best fit for our operating parameters.

    With other suppliers, there’s often been more parties involved in getting to the final end product. With Insight, they were able to provide a complete package for us and take care of everything. It’s also great to be able to quickly speak with anyone on their side when questions may arise or technical support is required.

    I think the folks at Insight are great. They are easy to work with, very friendly people. I believe that they have the client’s best interests at heart.

  • We began working with Insight Analytical because we were looking for a product that was reliable, low maintenance and that could provide more rapid sampling than other technology out in the field. There were other solutions out there that involved a lot of field intervention and a lot of more maintenance components. Insight’s product met the requirements we were looking for.

    My experience with Insight was that they did their homework to make sure they would get a good result for us. They’ve been flexible to work with, they’re transparent in their dealings with us and communicate well, and their level of expertise is high.

    We’ve had a lot of success with the Insight Analytical technology. For the work we do in the upstream side of the business, where we have unprocessed raw liquids, Insight's analyzers are the best. We’re able to optimize production so we can get the best value for what we sell.

    Insight has been a great business partner for us for the last number of years and helped us solve a lot of issues. Jason has been amazing, he’s completely customer-focused and willing to go the extra mile to help us out and advocate for us with the manufacturer.

    Phil is probably the smartest analyzer guy in the world. Whenever we can get a chance to talk to him, and learn from him, we always take the opportunity to spend time with him.

  • The communication with Insight Analytical has always been excellent. They are highly responsive to what we are asking about in terms of problem solving. Even if it’s not related to the technology they offer, they always point me in the right direction and give me the resources to be successful.

    At Insight, they are transparent and honest. If there’s an issue, they speak to me directly about it and we can work together as a team towards a solution. I really appreciate all the support they’ve given me over the time we’ve worked together.

We develop three-dimensional models of every system we build prior to construction. 3D modeling for design allows the designer to see what they would not see when designing in 2D. 3D modeling help the designers and end users visualize space requirements, access to valves and controls and see how calibration and manual operations can be enacted. When shared with the end user, a consensus on layout and requirements can be assured before construction.
Fabrication - Insight Analytical Solutions Fabrication Icon

Manufacturing and Fabrication

Insight typically fabricates and tests its integrated systems in Calgary, but we have worked in collaboration with other suppliers such as local Swagelok distributors across North America. Our team can provide design, engineering, testing and service whether the project is done locally or remotely. In both cases, we bring our extensive knowledge, proven practices and attention to detail to ensure the final product is built to meet the agreed upon specifications.

We view no job as too big or too small. From custom vaporization stations to grab sample systems to control panels to full analyzer shelters, all of our projects are fabricated in a 150,000 sq ft shop in Calgary northeast. We have multiple loading facilities including drive in ramps, loading docks and a full overhead crane to take large projects such as full shelters in and out of the facility. It is during fabrication that our detail to design pays off, as our detailed bills of materials and full 3-D assembly models allow production
and assembly to proceed in a timely and efficient manner. Journeymen electricians all the wiring and electrical, and our trained certified instrumentation technicians perform all internals.
Composite & Grab Sampling System
Comfortably located between the airport and downtown, we are always happy to host a full factory inspection test. We provide detailed inspection test plans during our own internal inspection and will design a custom factory acceptance test plan to meet all your requirements. We pride ourselves on being full ready for acceptance tests and to have done everything possible to ensure that there are few punch list items to be addressed.
