Oil and Gas (production and transport)

Experience Sulzer in the Oil and Gas Industry


Production at sea: Extreme conditions place
the highest demands on technology
and materials.

Extraction from the depths
Using existing sources as efficiently as possible, transporting oil and natural gas
over ever-increasing distances and utilizing hard-to-exploit deposits are all key factors to the oil and gas industries.

Sulzer is one of the worldwide leading manufacturers of pumps for the oil production and transportation through pipelines. Sulzer supplies crucial components for the separation of well head products into oil, gas, CO2 and water in offshore and onshore production facilities. Technologies developed by Sulzer for surface coating protect drilling bits, valves and pump components. In addition, Sulzer services compressors as well as gas turbines onsite and in pipelines.


Sulzer solutions for the oil and gas industry:
  • Pumps used in production and related activities
  • Pumps used for transportation
  • Pumps for liquid gases
  • Surface coating for drill bits, valves and pump rotors for oil production facilities
  • Mass transfer equipment, installation and maintenance services
  • Maintenance and repair of turbines, compressors and other rotating equipment

For years, Sulzer has been building the most powerful water injection pumps in the world. The pumps help optimize the pressure in an oil field over its full productive life cycle.

Transport trough inhospitable regions: pipline in Alaska. Pumps have to be exceptionally reliable to avoid costly downtimes—even in extreme weather and tempratures.

When exploring new oil wells in deep-seated rock formations, the drilling bits are subjected to extreme demands. Surface finishing by Sulzer doubles or even triples these drilling bits’ service life.
