TPS Enterprises has been producing high quality thin sections for the oil and gas industry and academia since 2000. Since that time, it has grown from a one man show in one half of a two-car garage, to a small group of talented individuals committed to creating high quality thin sections quickly and economically. This commitment has led to a host of novel techniques to produce the results our clients require when working with challenging sample types, (shales, unconsolidated sandstones, and otherwise unstable materials).
