Optimizing Midstream Oil and Gas Operations
The midstream sector plays a critical role in the oil and gas value chain. Because it entails handling the transportation of refined products through pipelines. It also involves the processing of natural gas before delivery to downstream facilities. In these environments, efficiency and reliability are paramount. Every unnecessary cost, whether in fuel, electrical power, or manpower, reduces profitability and can impact contractual obligations.
Petrotech delivers advanced control systems designed to address these challenges head-on. Moreover, by automating key processes, optimizing driver performance, and integrating intelligent monitoring, we help midstream operators increase throughput. All this while keeping operational costs in check. Our expertise ensures that each control solution is purpose-built for your facility, thus delivering measurable gains in productivity, reliability, and safety.
Custom Control Solutions for Pipeline and Gas Processing Assets
Our control system capabilities cover a full range of midstream equipment, including:
Drivers: Electric motor, gas turbine, and reciprocating engine-driven systems.
Anti-Surge Controls: Protecting compressors from damaging surge conditions while maintaining stable flow.
Capacity and Load-Sharing Controls: Distributing demand intelligently across multiple units, thus maximizing efficiency and extending equipment life.
Petrotech’s approach starts with understanding your pipeline or plant’s unique operational profile. We then design a fully integrated control solution that blends seamlessly into your existing automation framework. This ensures minimal downtime during implementation and smooth coordination between your processing assets and control architecture.
Proven Results in Pipeline and Gas Processing Assets
Real-world results showcase our experience in midstream control optimization. For example, in a recent project, Petrotech enhanced the performance of a gas processing facility using Advanced Expander Process Controls. Thus, delivering higher throughput and improved operational stability without increasing fuel or manpower costs.
You can learn more about this application in our white paper, Advanced Expander Process Controls. This white paper details the strategies, control algorithms, as well as integration methods used to achieve these gains.
