From drilling rigs to refinery units and pipeline booster stations, the oil and gas industry runs equipment under high pressure, variable temperature and often corrosive conditions that demand proven, stable lubricants.
Industry Challenges
What You're Up Against
Very high operating pressure
Pipeline pumps and compressors run at very high pressures, requiring a resilient lubricating film.
Corrosive, often offshore environment
Offshore platforms and coastal facilities are exposed to moisture, salt and corrosive gases.
Strict safety requirements
Proximity to flammable materials makes high flash point and thermal stability critical in lubricant selection.
