Remote operations, adverse environments, extreme climates, limited space.
These are but a few of the demanding characteristics typical of oil and gas
exploration and production around the globe. They translate into product
requirements including extreme ruggedness, maximum availability and compact,
modular designs — all of which are key features of Siemens’ upstream
solutions.
Current R&D Programs
At Siemens,
continuous investments in research and development produce a steady stream of
innovative solutions with unparalleled competitive edge. Current R&D programs
for upstream applications include:
Compression of associated acid gas for direct injection into reservoirs at
pressures of up to 1,000 bar Totally canned motor/compressor modules without shaft seals Maintenance-free medium voltage subsea switchgear
