Gushor's New Laboratory Has Begun Phase 1!
Gushor is pleased to announce that the construction phase of their new laboratory has begun, and expected move in date will be scheduled for the end of July 2011. We are thrilled about the move so we have decided to share the development process and will have updates regularly on our website showing the progress of the laboratory build out.
Should you have any questions about our services and what we will be offering out of this new laboratory space, please feel free to contact us at info@gushor.com.

Gushor Appears in Cool Companies Magazine
May 20th, 2011 in News, Press Releases
Gushor Inc. is pleased to announce that they were recently featured in Canada's Cool Companies magazine, in their Alberta's Clean Technologies & Green Products 2011 issue.
"This book is focused on Alberta, Canada. Alberta is a place well known for its fresh air, the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains, the wide open spaces of the prairies, the boreal forests of the north, and the haunting beauty of the badlands. Alberta is also very fortunate to have an abundance of natural resources—oil, natural gas, coal—that have made it an energy world leader.
What you likely don’t know is that Alberta is home to a fascinating collection of companies pioneering their own space in the cleantech industry—in a land dominated by oil and gas activities, this is a very surprising discovery. Each of these clean technology companies is driven by innovation and entrepreneurial determination to make a meaningful contribution to the world’s Cleantech Revolution. They are the calibre of companies that will make you think, “Wow....Cool.” It’s important to emphasize that these are only a sample; there’s more. Our sample also only focuses on technology driven companies; there’s lots of service driven ones too.
Together, these cleantech companies and the innovators in traditional energy are proof that Alberta’s energy industry is carving out a new definition of itself: it is becoming a modern energy innovation leader that will be a global player in the Cleantech Revolution" (Cool Companies, Alberta's Clean Technologies & Green Products 2011, p.4).
New Blog Post - A Viscous Post-Mortem

A Viscous Post-Mortem
Oil Viscosity versus Oil geochemistry: Considering the advances achieved in quantitative analysis of hydrocarbons in crude oils and bitumen that can be correlated with physical properties such as oil viscosity e.g. Liaohe heavy oilfield in China (Koopmans et al., 2002), it was somewhat puzzling that when that same approach was applied to the heavy oil and bitumen samples of Alberta, the correlations proved somewhat disappointing. Considering the many years of R&D that were committed to achieve reproducible and statistically tolerant (1-2% variation) quantitative hydrocarbon data, we turned our attention to evaluate the integrity of the oil viscosity data. We initiated a program of R&D to investigate the factors contributing to variable oil viscosity data, while coincidently, at about the same time, the publication entitled “Should you trust your viscosity data?”was published in the Journal of Canadian petroleum technology (Miller et al., 2006) highlighting the need for guidelines to standardise viscosity measurements.

New Blog Post - Innovative R & D

Innovative R & D in the Canadian Oil & Gas Industry!
Recently GE CEO Jeff Immelt gave a talk to the Calgary oil patch where he challenged the local energy industry to invest in and focus more on R&D and innovation. Recent meetings at PTAC and elsewhere have also identified the problem but it’s not just industry that has problems. The problems of the Canadian energy innovation system are systemic and broad and cover not only the industrial sector but also the academic and government R&D operations which are focused more on resource industry staff training than innovative R&D.
