Measuring instruments for the oil and gas industry
WIKA measurement products are found in the oil and gas industry worldwide. From extraction to regeneration, offshore as well as onshore, our instruments for measuring pressure, temperature, and level help upstream, midstream, and downstream companies operate more safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
Upstream in the oil and gas industry
In the oil and gas industry, upstream refers to the first part of the supply chain. This segment encompasses exploration, well identification and development, extraction (including hydraulic fracturing), and production.
WIKA instruments are an essential part of today’s upstream oil and gas industry. Our comprehensive portfolio – pressure products, temperature solutions, level gauges, force sensors, primary flow elements, calibration instruments – are used in wide variety of onshore and offshore applications.
With rigorous attention to design detail, manufacturing processes, and high-quality materials, our instruments are built to be oil-field tough. They offer reliable, long-lasting performance in some of the harshest environments on Earth, from extreme heat to arctic cold. Supported by a global network of WIKA subsidiaries, we deliver products where and when our customers need them. This flexibility helps the upstream sector maximize performance, operational efficiency, and utilization of assets.
Our complete range of products are essential for monitoring and controlling the performance of oilfield equipment and processes. If an off-the-shelf product does not suit your specific requirements, WIKA USA is happy to custom-engineer a solution. Our goal is to provide maximum value for our customers, wherever their upstream operations are located.
