Founded in Casper, Wyoming, by James A. Kane on April 5, 1984, American Mobile Research, Inc., 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 and gas industry with "real time" analysis.
