Beaver Creek Analytical, LLC

Beaver Creek Analytical, LLC (BCA) is a United States-based company that describes itself as the world leading authority in the field of portable mass spectrometers for dissolved gas analysis, with over two decades of experience. The company specializes in real-time atmospheric and hydrospheric chemical data collection using portable mass spectrometers, and in the design and deployment of sensing infrastructure for offshore engineering and subsea exploration. Its work centers on hydrocarbons and the real-time analysis of deep-water cold seeps. BCA's product range includes an underwater mass spectrometer designed for in situ sensing of dissolved gases in water at depths up to 3000 meters, a subsea stream selector for selecting fluid sources or diverting flow for sample collection, a subsea pump operating at depths up to 3000 m with flow rates between 4 and 40 mL/min, underway data management software for consolidating sensor data and positional metadata, and dissolved gas standards specializing in atmospheric gases, C1–C5 alkanes, and CO2 and H2S standards. Products are available off-the-shelf, custom, or for rental. The company's primary commercial focus is on renting its equipment and providing geochemical expertise for offshore projects, along with comprehensive geochemical project management. Its services include sensor deployment, service and rental; sensor integration and platform design; seep characterization; seep hunting campaign management; in situ sensor development for methane, ethane, and isotope sensors; and shipboard services such as offshore isotopic analysis (δ13C-CH4) and dissolved gas compositional content by GC. Several instrument development projects are ongoing to support diverse customer needs. BCA is headquartered in Lafayette, United States, according to its Wikidata entry. It operates as a private company and serves offshore and subsea exploration markets, positioning itself around reliable, high-performance instruments that deliver high-resolution data sets in real time.
