Upstream | Parker
Oil and gas offshore platform

From remote wellheads to early production systems, Parker's instrumentation and flow control solutions are built to thrive under pressure. Engineered for high temperatures, corrosive media, and sour service, they deliver precise measurement, safe isolation, and robust control, even in the world's harshest upstream environments. 

Upstream operations demand absolute reliability. Extreme pressure, corrosive fluids, and limited space leave no room for failure - a single leak can cost millions or worse. Backed by decades of oil and gas experience, Parker delivers proven solutions to maintain uptime, protect assets, and ensure safe, efficient operation in unforgiving conditions.

Sampling & Injection

Maintain production integrity through precise dosing, efficient sampling, and backflow prevention in critical systems. 

Measurement & Monitoring

Accurate pressure, flow, and temperature data is essential for safe, optimised upstream operations. Yet vibration, space constraints, and corrosive media increase the risk of leaks and fugitive emissions. Parker's compact, high-integrity valves and manifolds maintain system accuracy and integrity under pressure, supporting reliable data acquisition, calibration, and reduced leak paths in the harshest conditions.

Flow & Pressure Control

Precise flow and pressure control is critical to safe and efficient upstream operations - from managing wellhead safety systems to operating hydraulic actuators and emergency shutdown devices. With limited space, hazardous area requirements, and extreme pressure demands, every component must deliver reliable, leak-tight performance. Parker's solenoid valves, fire-rated hoses, compact manifolds, and tube & fttings are engineered to ensure fast response, maximum safety, and robust control in the most demanding conditions.

Isolation & Safety

Safe isolation is vital for upstream maintenance, pressure containment, and emergency response. With high operating pressures, sour media, and space-constraints, reducing leak paths and simplifying actuation is essential. Parker's valves with integral end connections, corrosion-resistant fittings, and certified solenoid valves enable operators to isolate systems safely, reduce emissions, and minimise operational risk in demanding offshore and onshore environments.

Sampling & Injection

Accurate chemical injection and representative sampling are essential for maintaining flow assurance and process integrity. In upstream environments where pressure is high, space is limited, and contamination risks are real, precision matters. Parker's modular injection valves, sampling conditioning systems, and high pressure hoses deliver safe, efficient fluid transfer and reliable backflow protection -minimising leak paths, umbilical bulk, and unplanned downtime.
