Image by Moussa81 via iStock New data from the Texas Workforce Commission indicate that upstream oil and gas employment climbed by 2,200 in May compared to April, and by 7,300 jobs through the first five months of 2025. percent increase and an average growth of 875 jobs per month. percent increase and an average growth of 875 jobs per month.
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners Association (TIPRO) has highlighted new employment figures showing an increase in upstream employment in Texas in the month of May. The top posted job titles for May included maintenance technicians (118), retail cashiers (77), and sales associates (70).
We will explore the inherent challenges in gas separation, the mechanics of these innovative devices, and the tangible benefits they bring, including enhanced operational reliability, reduced maintenance, and superior product quality. Stainless steel and specialized coatings are common.
(Oil Price) –Natural gas producer EQT Corporation has agreed to buy upstream and midstream assets of Olympus Energy for $1.8 Olympus Energy has over 10 years of high-quality Marcellus inventory at maintenance activity levels, with an additional 7 years of upside from the Utica. Source: Yahoo News The total consideration of $1.8
All in all, were looking at refining margins for the first-quarter of this year that are better than 2024, even as upstream margins weaken and the industry at large expresses concern over a cooling global oil demand outlook. So far for the quarter, weve seen a mixed bag, despite the overall boost for refiners. Other major U.S.
Logistics management in the oil and gas industry plays a critical role in ensuring safe, timely, and cost-effective movement of materials, equipment, and personnel across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. Midstream Logistics Pipeline Construction & Maintenance : Pipe transport, ROW access, material yards.
Production Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Troubleshooting production issues, such as equipment failures or flow problems. Implementing maintenance plans to ensure equipment reliability and minimize downtime. Analyzing production data to improve operations and implement strategies for enhanced production efficiency.
Equipment Maintenance: Technicians are responsible for the maintenance and calibration of equipment used in oil and gas operations. Assisting in Field Operations: Engineering Technicians may work in the field alongside engineers to assist with the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment.
Two-phase FWKO’s are used to separate oil and gas from water, allowing the upstream FWKO to hold pressure using the downstream treater’s back pressure control valve. Maintenance and Troubleshooting Regular inspection and cleaning are crucial for maintaining the performance and efficiency of a free water knockout system.
Furthermore, on September 5, FGT announced maintenance work beginning on September 6, which is expected to last until September 8. The unscheduled maintenance is on the larger of the two units located in Mississippi at Tennessee Carnes Interconnect, upstream of FGT Compressor Station.
Innovations in Gas Cleaning and Processing As the gas processing field advanced, the integration of technologies expanded to include upstream cleaning processes, addressing impurities like moisture, oxygen, siloxanes, sulfur, and VOCs in a single skid.

Cleaning and maintenance Solexs vertical moving bed heat exchangers resemble rectangular silos featuring large access doors on either one or two sides of the equipment. In addition, the limited number and size of moving parts means there is minimal wear, routine maintenance and spare spares required to ensure continued operation.
ADJUSTED PRODUCTION AND VOLUME FORECASTS Shell also reduced its integrated gas production outlook for the fourth quarter to 880,000 and 920,000 oil-equivalent daily barrels, citing scheduled maintenance at a Qatar-based facility. For upstream productioncovering crude oil and natural gas extractionShell expects output of 1.79
A slug catcher is a piece of equipment used in the oil and gas industry to separate large volumes of liquid from a gas stream, typically upstream of key equipment such a processing plant or compressor. Cost Savings Reduced maintenance costs: Fewer equipment breakdowns and repairs lead to significant cost savings.
Mike Wirth, Chevron CEO Wood Mac data shows that weve got the lowest upstream breakeven in the industry. Vicki Hollub Operations President Richard Jackson added: Weve had a great failure reduction… downhole maintenance rigs dropped over 30% over the last two years.
Continuous improvements in turboexpander design, including enhanced aerodynamics and active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems, lead to higher efficiencies and reduced maintenance. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are used for predictive maintenance, dynamic process optimization, and advanced anomaly detection.
BP achieved upstream plant reliability of 95.4%, one of its best on record, and refining availability at 96.2%. Hess Q1 2025 Performance Hess Corporation delivered a solid operational quarter in Q1 2025, marked by steady oil and gas production, continued development progress in Guyana, and significant investments in key upstream assets.
For instance, an upstream membrane unit can reduce the load on a downstream cryogenic plant, making the overall system more efficient and achieving more cost-effective NGL separation. These tools enhance real-time control, enable predictive maintenance, and improve overall plant efficiency and safety.
By putting devices in relation to those entities, it is possible, for example, to query Ditto for the firmware version of all SRTs within a building. The digital twins of devices, rooms, etc.,
 Humanoid maintenance costs are also high. Widespread adoption of general-purpose robots will require lower manufacturing and maintenance costs. Start building the talent and culture needed to work alongside machines, especially in maintenance, operations, and programming. Move quickly to create upstream value.
