In the complex and high-stakes world of oil & gas, control valves play a critical role in ensuring safety, efficiency, and precision.
From upstream exploration to downstream refining, control valves regulate the flow, pressure, and temperature of fluids—
helping to maintain optimal operating conditions across every stage of the process.
--- Upstream:
Control valves are used at the wellhead to manage the flow of crude oil and natural gas.
They also regulate the injection of water or chemicals into reservoirs, and ensure accurate separation of oil, gas, and water streams.
--- Midstream:
During transportation via pipelines, control valves help manage pressure and flow.
They’re essential at compressor and pump stations, and play a key role in emergency shutdown systems.
--- Downstream:
In refining and gas processing, control valves regulate temperature, pressure, and flow in reactors, distillation columns, and heat exchangers.
They’re vital for process control, energy efficiency, and safety compliance.
--- Whether it's crude oil production or LNG processing, control valves are the silent force behind many key operations in oil & gas.
