What Pacific Gas Technology does

Pacific Gas Technology is a privately held, Bakersfield-based analytical services firm focused on the physical and chemical testing of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Its core capability rests on in-house gas chromatography executed to recognized industry standards — ASTM D1945, ASTM D3588, and GPA 2146-96 — covering fixed gases, light hydrocarbons C1 through C6+, heat value, relative density, and compressibility. The company also delivers Totalflow flow meter calibration and repair services performed by ABB Totalflow-certified technicians, with a 3-day standard turnaround that includes a bundled ASTM D1945 natural gas analysis. Supporting offerings include EPA Source Test Method analysis (M18, 3C, Methods 6 & 8, Method 11, Method 5-202), total sulfur analysis (ASTM D-3246), H2S testing (GC/FPD per ASTM D6228 and field detector tube per ASTM D-4810), and on-site field sampling and dew point/moisture measurement.

The firm's business model is straightforward professional services delivery to B2B customers in California's natural gas, petroleum, and oil and gas sectors. Revenue is generated through per-sample laboratory testing, hourly field service work with a two-hour minimum, and unit-priced calibration engagements, with surcharges for 48-72 hour and 24-hour premium turnarounds. The go-to-market is direct sales via a website-based quote request system, supplemented by phone-based ordering; marketing appears limited to SEO and a basic web presence. The company is privately held, operates from a single facility at 4100 Burr Street, Bakersfield, CA, has 11-50 employees per firmographic data, and holds membership with California Energy Alternatives (CAEMC). No funding rounds, investors, parent/subsidiary structure, public listings, or named executive team are disclosed in available sources.
