Control Solutions for Reliable and Efficient Upstream Oil & Gas Operations
Upstream oil and gas operations require dependable energy and equipment control across drilling, production, and field-processing assets, often in remote and demanding environments.
Woodward supports onshore and offshore operations with control, fuel management, actuation, valve, and power management technologies for reciprocating engines, gas turbines, compressors, pumps, and onsite generation.
Our solutions help equipment manufacturers, packagers, service providers, and operators improve availability, performance, emissions management, and lifecycle value.
Engine and Fuel Systems
Woodward engine controls, fuel injection, fuel delivery, pumps, valves, and actuation technologies support drilling equipment, pressure-pumping fleets, compression packages, production equipment, and remote generator sets.
Our engine solutions help manage engine speed, load response, fuel delivery, and protective functions under severe duty cycles. They support efficient operation, equipment availability, and compliance needs across new equipment and selected modernization programs.
Turbine and Compressor Controls
Woodward turbine controls, valves, actuators, and protection systems support gas turbines used for compression, pumping, and power generation on platforms and at major production hubs.
Compressor control solutions help coordinate capacity, pressure, speed, and protective functions. Together, these technologies support stable operation, efficient production, and reliable performance across changing field conditions and operating requirements.
Power Management
Woodward generator controls and power management products help coordinate onsite generation, utility connections, switchgear, and critical loads.
Capabilities include synchronization, load sharing, protection, load shedding, black start, and islanded operation. These functions are especially valuable for offshore facilities, remote fields, and production sites where dependable power is essential to safety, production continuity, communications, and environmental systems.
