Pipelines, Separation Plants, and Processing Systems
Midstream
Separation Plants
Midstream processing separates crude oil into oil, gas, and water components. As oil fields age, water content increases, making efficient separation and pipeline integrity critical.
Land-based separation plants and offshore FPSOs perform identical processing. Our technology improves separation efficiency and reduces chemical usage.
Trunk Lines
Purified products move via pipelines across vast distances. Pipeline integrity monitoring prevents environmental contamination and maintains flow rates.
