Interface Fluidics, a Calgary-based oilfield laboratory services provider, has raised about $6 million (US$4.5 million) in a Series A financing. Equinor Technology Ventures, the venture capital arm of Norway's Equinor ASA, and U.S. accelerator Techstars led the round. Interface was founded in 2015 by CEO Stuart Kinnear, COO Tom De Haas and CTO David Stinton. It has developed a nanotechnology platform for optimizing oil production and visualizing fluid-fluid interactions through chemical testing at reservoir temperature and pressure. The company, a recent graduate of the first class of Techstars Energy Accelerator, said it will use the round's proceeds to expand capacity to meet market demand.
