Oil and gas operations run critical equipment in some of the harshest electrical environments on earth. Remote locations, long utility feeds, lightning exposure, and massive motor loads from pumps and compressors create extreme transient voltage conditions that destroy electronics and halt production.
Oil and gas facilities combine the worst of every power quality challenge: remote locations at the end of long utility feeds, constant exposure to lightning and weather events, massive motor loads cycling on and off, and critical SCADA and automation systems that must operate continuously. Standard surge protectors address utility-side spikes but do nothing about the internally generated transients that cause most of the damage.
Top drives, mud pumps, drawworks, and rig automation systems rely on sensitive electronics that transients silently degrade. Failures during drilling operations cost tens of thousands per hour in lost production.
Electric submersible pumps, reciprocating compressors, and pipeline booster stations use VFDs and motor controllers that are both sources and victims of transient activity. Each failure cascades through the production chain.
Remote terminal units, PLCs, flow computers, and communication equipment operate continuously in exposed field locations. Transient-induced failures compromise safety, compliance, and production visibility.
Field sites at the end of long utility feeds receive amplified transient exposure from both external events and distant switching operations. Equipment replacement at remote locations adds logistics cost to every failure.
These aren't projections. These are documented outcomes from oil and gas operations that installed TPS power conditioning and surge protection.
