Oil and Gas Offshore
Offshore oil and gas operations require corrosion-resistant, explosion-proof, and SIL-rated instrumentation for harsh marine environments. Measurement reliability and low maintenance requirements are critical for reducing costly offshore interventions.

Overview
Offshore oil and gas operations present unique instrumentation challenges due to harsh marine environments, remote locations, and the highest safety requirements in the industry. From wellhead monitoring and separation processes to storage and ballast water management, every measurement point must deliver reliable data under extreme conditions. Corrosion resistance, explosion protection, and SIL-rated safety instrumentation are mandatory requirements. Operators must maintain compliance with strict environmental regulations while maximizing extraction efficiency. With platforms often located far from shore, instrumentation reliability and low maintenance requirements are critical factors in reducing costly offshore interventions.

Ballast tanks
Oil and Gas Offshore
Floating drilling or pumping assets such as platforms or FPSOs are stabilized by filling or emptying ballast tanks with seawater. This enables operators to critically and safely manage the ballast and...
Flare knockout drum
Oil and Gas Offshore
The unrecoverable residues of oil and gas production are collected in the flare knockout drum and liquefied at high pressure. The recovered liquid, the condensate, collects at the bottom of the vessel...
Hydraulic oil reservoir tank
Oil and Gas Offshore
The hydraulic oil used to transmit power circulates in a closed system. However, it is gradually lost due to lubrication points and leakages in the power equipment. To ensure optimum operation of the...
Mud flow return line
Oil and Gas Offshore
The drilling mud flowing back from the drilling contains large amounts of solids. To avoid clogging in these pipes and the associated damage to the drill head and loss of production, a reliable monito...
Mud tank level
Oil and Gas Offshore
In the mud tanks, agitators or jet nozzles stir and mix the mud to ensure a homogeneous mixture. To enable a continuous process, the level measurement must be reliable and independent of the compositi...
Mud tanks
Oil and Gas Offshore
Prior to, and during pumping into the well, the density of the mud needs continuous monitoring. Density is an important criteria for determining the correct composition of the drilling mud. The correc...
Oil separators
Oil and Gas Offshore
The separator vessel contains a mixture of crude oil, gas, water and sand extracted from the subsea well. Precise monitoring of these multiple separation interfaces and emulsions play a vital role in...
Primary desalter
Oil and Gas Offshore
It is important that a desalter unit runs efficiently to prevent corrosion to downstream equipment. When the crude oil mixes with the emulsifying chemicals and water, the resulting emulsion layer make...
Secondary desalter
Oil and Gas Offshore
To maximize efficiency of the electrostatic grid as it removes contaminants within second and third stage desalters, a crucial point of control is to maintain the oil and water interface just below th...
