Founded in Casper, Wyoming by James A. Kane on April 5, 1984, American Mobile Research began providing basic gas and liquid hydrocarbon testing to the Petroleum Industry. Soon after expanding its analytical services to include detailed sulfur analysis of gas and liquid hydrocarbons, A.M.R. developed the first mobile laboratories in its region providing the oil & gas industry with “real time” analyses. Soon, A.M.R. grew to include additional facilities in Baggs, WY & Butte, MO. In 1993, American Mobile Research, Inc. began the first test treater research studies which brought a considerable amount of notoriety to the company. To date, American Mobile Research has worked on the development of over 100 new products used in the industry, leading to many changes in the way samples are taken and analyzed.
After a purchase and division with KN Energy, in July, 2001, the new American Mobile Research, Inc began operating. James A. Kane retained his position as President & CEO of the new company and, to date, continues to be a major force behind American Mobile Research, Inc. which has since become a leading analytical firm in hydrocarbon and sulfur testing. Providing gas & liquid chromatographic analysis, specialized testing & research in desulphurization processes, and ICP analysis of metals in various catalytic processes, its client base has grown from national to international, providing testing & research for several major companies in Europe & the UK.
