LifeCheck® ATP & Polytechnic
Registration Now Open for LuminUltra Polytechnic Midland
Microbiology directly impacts oilfield operations – from corrosion and souring to production inefficiencies. That’s why we’re launching LuminUltra Polytechnic, an educational experience designed to empower oilfield professionals to make data-driven microbial management decisions with confidence.
Join industry peers, expert instructors and innovators in a specialized learning environment that translates advanced microbiological science into practical, actionable knowledge.
Register for the full comprehensive program or choose individual sessions tailored to your specific goals.
From Uncertainty to Actionable Insights.
LuminUltra Polytechnic is the hub for oilfield technical training providing the essential knowledge and skills you need to confidently manage microbial risks. Our curriculum is designed to deliver core competencies essential to being able to address concerns head-on.
Speak a Common Microbial Language
Build a common vocabulary for microbial discussions across teams, tools and technologies. We’ll demystify terminology (what’s the real difference between bacteria and archaea?) and introduce a standardized framework for interpreting results across legacy and next-gen test methods.
Choose the Right Testing Tools
From ATP to DNA, the microbial testing toolkit is evolving. Learn how today’s technologies outperform outdated methods, how to validate third-party lab work, and what you can test in-house versus outsource. It’s not about picking one tool, it’s about knowing which tool works when, why and how.
Master microbial control
Go beyond testing. Build or improve a full microbial control program that aligns testing, treatment and KPIs. Learn how to select and apply the right biocide strategies with data to back you up. Through case studies, SOPs and real-world examples, you’ll be prepared to lead microbial control with confidence.
The LuminUltra Polytechnic Difference
We’re proud to be running an industry-leading, top-quality educational program. Here’s what makes our Polytechnic sought after by professionals across North America.

You can also choose to build your own learning path from the individual sessions
Oilfield Microbiology Basics (1/2 day)
The foundation of knowledge for establishing a solid executable mastery of microbial prevention and problem solving in our hydrocarbon world. This module will define key terms and principles critical to establishing a common language around oilfield microbiology. From there, we explore testing tools and technology before rounding out the session with the fundamentals of an effective microbial control program. No prerequisites required. Register
Biocide Applications (1/2 day)
All biocides have a license to kill, but not in the same ways. This module will examine the different industrial biocide categories and explain each biocide mechanism of action, debunking common myths and misconceptions along the way. With this base knowledge we then explore biocide selection and application best practices, pulling on practical examples from case studies across the oil and gas industry. Register
ATP Testing Certification (1/2 day)
Harness the potential of ATP Testing to give powerful insights into the microbial activity within your projects. ATP testing is the go-to microbial test for the oil and gas industry and is used every day to make treatment and mitigation-related decisions. This hands-on training course is a must for anyone out in the field. After walking you through the principles of ATP testing, our instructors will teach you how to perform ATP Tests and interpret the data. Register
