Ensure Safety and Efficiency for Your Oil and Gas Plant With Our Process Instrumentation Solutions

Process Instrumentation in the oil and gas industry

Without doubt the Oil and Gas industry is changing, but the need for accurate process instrumentation to assist in all applications, be they upstream, midstream, or downstream is still essential. Process instrumentation measures four essential operating parameters; pressure, temperature, flow and level.

Some of the more traditional energy providers are still essential as we continue to navigate our way to being carbon neutral. Whilst the need for Carbon Net Zero is creating uncertainty regarding the future of oil and gas, the demand for both is still increasing. Companies within this sector will continue to supply traditional energy in the immediate future, but are all looking to transition to clean energy in the next decade.

However, various factors influence the pace at which oil and gas companies invest in clean energy. Extra bureaucracy, permits and finances for new energy investments remain a genuine hurdle. The relative price of other fuels can also influence how attractive green energy investment can appear, with demand increasing for the more affordable option by consumers. Biofuel production, as an example, relies on the production of grains and other food products. Increased demand for food could mean that there is less to be used for biofuels. As the global population grows, people and our basic needs seem to make the shift to sustainable energy problematic.

Our Products

We have been working within the Oil and Gas industry for over 5 decades and can assist with the smooth running of these sites, with both onshore and offshore applications.

Understanding how essential process instrumentation is to this valuable industry, we ensure our switches, transmitters and conductivity probes are built to a range of international standards, including explosion-proof and intrinsically safe, all to give our oil and gas customers peace of mind whilst they are working in harsh environments.

Our instrument specialists can help you with the selection process and provide the support, advice, and fast response that you need.

Below is a small selection of our range of products for the oil and gas industry.

The GR2/4 Pressure Switch is designed to be compact and hermetically sealed for safe and hazardous areas. This makes it ideal for use in the North Sea with its resistance to chemical attack as well as corrosion, which ensures great longevity.

Alternatively the 2HT Pressure Transmitter is our digital option, featuring HART communication with the option to use D-CAL digital display which can provide up to 80% of the transmitters HART commands, meaning less reliance on third party communicators.
