Oil & gas applications depend on equipment that needs to run reliably, safely, and often around the clock.
We can help with everything from PLCs and control systems to the VFDs and motor controls that keep pumps, compressors, and other equipment moving.
Add in instrumentation, HMI, and SCADA, and you have the visibility and control to keep your oil & gas operation running reliably and efficiently.
Did You Know?
One barrel = 42 gallons
It's not just oil; oil wells can produce a mixture of oil, natural gas, and water.
What's that smell? Natural gas is naturally odorless. That 'rotten egg' smell is actually intentionally added to make leaks easier to detect.
Oil & Gas Applications
Wellhead & Production Control
Get it out of the ground and keep production under control. Oil and gas production starts at the wellhead, where pumps, valves, pressure, and other equipment need to be monitored and controlled. Automation helps coordinate equipment and gives operators a good look into what's happening at the site.
Separator & Processing Skid Control
Separate and condition the oil, gas, and water. Coordinate valves, pumps, level controls, pressure instrumentation, and safety interlocks from one control system. Automation helps processing skids operate consistently while giving operators the data they need.
Pump & Compressor Control
Provide the force needed to move liquids and gases. Pumps move liquids while compressors keep gases moving through the process. VFDs, motors, controls, and sensors help manage speed and pressure while monitoring equipment for problems.
Pipeline Pressure & Flow Monitoring
Monitor the product as it moves through the pipeline. Maintain consistent flow and catch problems before they become shutdowns. Real-time pressure and flow monitoring gives operators better visibility into pipeline conditions and helps protect critical infrastructure.
Tank Level Monitoring & Transfer Control
Know exactly what’s in your tanks and where it’s going. Oil, water, chemicals, and other liquids may be stored and transferred throughout an operation. Sensors and controls monitor tank levels and help coordinate pumps to prevent overfills, dry runs, spills, and product loss.
Remote Site Monitoring & SCADA
Give operators visibility and control across the entire operation. Oil and gas assets aren't always easy to reach. Remote monitoring and SCADA systems provide visibility into equipment status, alarms, pressures, levels, and production data without requiring someone at every site.
What is a Purge System?
Sometimes the safest thing inside an enclosure is… clean air.
Purge and pressurization systems use a protective gas, typically clean compressed air, to help keep hazardous gases, vapors, or dust from entering an electrical enclosure.
By maintaining positive pressure inside, they can allow properly designed equipment to be used in certain hazardous locations.
For oil & gas applications, they’re commonly used to help protect control panels, HMI, drives, instrumentation, and other electrical equipment in challenging environments. Think of it as giving your control enclosure its own little protective bubble.
