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.
Explore Parker's upstream capabilities across key operational areas, designed to tackle your toughest field challenges.
Capture stable, accurate data under vibration, pressure, and corrosion, ensuring safe, real-time decision making.
Enable reliable actuation and flow control with components built for high loads and hostile environments.
Protect personnel and equipment with compact valve solutions that reduce emissions and support safe access.
Maintain production integrity through precise dosing, efficient sampling, and backflow prevention in critical systems.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Parker components are engineered from high-performance, corrosion-resistant alloys to meet the demands of aggressive upstream environments - including sour gas, high pressure, and subsea exposure. Materials such as 6Mo, Alloy 625, Alloy 825, and Titanium ensure long-term reliability under chemical attack, temperature extremes, and mechanical stress. Every material is fully traceable and compliant with offshore durability and safety standards.
Space and weight matter in upstream operations. Parker's valves, manifolds, and hoses are compact by design - reducing system footprint, simplifying layout on skids and wellheads, and cutting leak points. validated on offshore platforms, FPSOs, and remote wellsites, these rugged components are engineered to simplify installation and ensure uptime in hard-to-reach locations.
Parker's upstream instrumentation and flow control portfolio is designed to meet or exceed leading global standards, including API, NACE MR0175/ISO 15156, PED, ATEX, and ISO 15848. Whether it's chemical injection, hazardous area valves, or fire-safe systems, Parker helps ensure full compliance with industry regulations and internal engineering specifications.
Parker supports large-scale oil and gas developments worldwide with a dedicated capital projects team. From FEED to commissioning and beyond, we help manage complex specifications, documentation, and delivery schedules. With a proven history of executing exceeding multi-million-dollar packages for major producers, Parker ensures high-volume supply - on time, to spec, and anywhere on the map.
