Upstream

Koch-Glitsch provides innovative mass transfer and phase separation solutions for upstream oil and gas processing. Our advanced technologies – including seawater deaeration systems, mist eliminators, and gas-liquid separation solutions – help improve operational reliability, reduce unanticipated downtime, and optimize process efficiency.

Optimized Solutions for Upstream Operations

Upstream oil and gas operations require robust, high-efficiency separation solutions to handle demanding processing challenges. 

The upstream oil and gas market involves the initial stages of the oil and gas industry related to the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas. Upstream oil and gas separation is a crucial process of the oil and gas industry, where extracted fluids from wells are split into their constituent components – primarily oil, gas, and water.

Koch-Glitsch delivers cutting-edge mass transfer and phase separation technologies designed to optimize critical processes, such as seawater deaeration – a vital step in preventing corrosion and protecting system integrity. 

Our advanced seawater deaeration systems, mist eliminators, coalescers, and gas-liquid separation internals enhance efficiency, reduce downtime, and ensure reliable performance in challenging upstream environments. These solutions minimize oxygen levels in seawater, prevent corrosion, and enhance equipment longevity, ensuring efficient performance in water injection and enhanced oil recovery applications.

For example, our enhanced gravity separation solutions help increase the separation efficiency between oil and water, while our mist eliminators aid in the efficient separation of liquid phases from natural gas.

Koch-Glitsch partners with upstream producers to provide tailored solutions that improve efficiency in gas-liquid separation, oil-water separation, dehydration, and contaminant removal. By combining our innovative technologies, technical expertise, and long-term reliability, we help operators meet today’s demands while preparing for the future.

Water Injection Systems

Water injection is used to enhance oil recovery by injecting very large volumes of treated water taken from the ocean or waterways into the oil reservoir to boost reservoir pressure. Eta Process Plant offers the following complete and customized skid-packaged units to provide total treatment for injection water.
