Petroleum and natural gas workflows
Exploration and production
The upstream oil and gas sector encompasses both the exploration and production of hydrocarbon products. Upstream includes the extraction of oil, gas, and water from underground formations in a cost-effective manner. Typical applications include plunger lift, gas lift, separator control, well testing, and automation.
Minimizing production costs and increasing production via enhanced oil recovery (EOR) are critical parameters in the upstream oil and gas sector. Intelligent, customizable, and easy-to-implement solutions are needed in order to maximize operations monitoring.

Electronic flow measurement at the wellhead ensures productivity
Maximizing well production is the key to maximizing profits. If well pressure drops and water flows from the formation to the well bore and accumulates, it creates a gradual increase in backpressure.
Gathering and processing
The midstream oil and gas sector refers to the gathering, processing, and storage of natural gas, crude, or refined petroleum products. Pipelines and other means are used to gather crude oil and natural gas from production sites to processing plants and to downstream customers. Typical applications include custody transfer, storage, gas control, system balance, and automation.
Successfully managing lost and unaccounted (L&U) levels is a key driver in midstream applications. Instruments that offer effective means of balancing your gathering system will provide accurate, repeatable measurements and will have advanced analytics capabilities.

Refining, petrochemical, energy
The downstream oil and gas sector covers the refining of petroleum crude oil, the processing and purifying of raw natural gas, and the distribution and commerce of petroleum products or natural gas. Typical applications include custody transfer, tank level, flow control, and plant balance.
Accurate, reliable measurements are critical to realizing maximum profitability of the petroleum or gas product. Instruments that provide precise and repeatable measurements out of the box, as well as units that ensure worker safety, are key factors when considering a solution in the downstream sector.
