Oil & gas exploration
Oil & gas exploration, extraction, and production
The upstream activities in the petroleum industry include the exploration, production and refining of crude oil. Reciprocating compressors are used to lift gas from the well and deliver it to the refinery. Depending upon the nature of the formation, gases can contain liquids or corrosive elements that compromise the reliability of the compressor and its components. Separators knock out liquids and oil refineries prepare the products for other midstream processes. HOERBIGER Compression Technology provides solutions to compressor and engine operators that solve the problems common to upstream activities.
