Since 1898
For more than a century, Saybolt is providing a wide range of independent inspection, monitoring, verification and analytical services.
From the very early days of the petroleum industry, Saybolt has developed from a one-man independent surveying company, established by Edward Saybolt in 1898,
into a multi-disciplinary service provider with offices and laboratories strategically located throughout the world. Saybolt is headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, strategically placed amidst one of the largest storage and refining centres in the world.

Whilst technological innovation has increased exponentially since 1898, the basic principles of inspection remain constant: to provide swift, accurate and reliable services.
Independence and Integrity are the unshakable cornerstones of the Saybolt operations.

Since 1997
In 1997 Saybolt was acquired by Core Laboratories.
Being a Core Laboratories Company, global positioning and diversification of services were further boosted.
Saybolt clients and partners include major oil and chemical companies, traders, shippers and buyers and insurance interests.
Saybolt also specialises in representing governmental institutions and international organisations, such as the European Union and the United Nations, and their specialised agencies and programmes.
