Onshore Operations

Powering the Oil & Gas Industry:

Electrical Design Expertise for Onshore Operations

The oil and gas industry plays a vital role in global energy production. However, ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient onshore operations requires specialized electrical design expertise. At Eldergate, we understand the unique challenges of the oil and gas sector and offer a comprehensive suite of electrical design services tailored to hydrocarbon storage facilities, gas compression facilities, and onshore pipeline operations.

Optimizing Onshore Operations: The Role of Electrical Design

Our electrical design services encompass every stage of your onshore project, from initial concept to commissioning and beyond:

Hydrocarbon Storage Facilities: Safe and efficient storage of oil and gas products is paramount. We design electrical systems for storage tanks, pump stations, and terminal facilities, ensuring reliable operation and compliance with stringent safety regulations. This includes hazardous area classification, explosion-proof equipment selection, and grounding systems.
Gas Compression Stations: Natural gas transportation often requires pressure boosting through compressor stations. Eldergate offers expertise in designing electrical power systems for gas compression stations, including motor control centres (MCCs), variable frequency drives (VFDs), and instrumentation and control (I&C) systems. By optimizing motor selection, power distribution, and control strategies, we maximize the efficiency and reliability of gas compression operations while minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact.
Onshore Pipelines: Extensive electrical infrastructure supports the safe and efficient operation of onshore pipelines. We design electrical and safety systems for pumping stations, cathodic protection systems to prevent pipeline corrosion, leak detection systems to identify potential issues early, and communication systems for real-time pipeline monitoring and control. Additionally, we consider factors like lightning protection and grounding to safeguard the pipeline and its surrounding environment.

Beyond the Basics: Adding Value Through Electrical Design

We go beyond simply designing electrical systems; we deliver value through our expertise:

Explosion-Proof Design & Hazardous Area Classification:Oil and gas facilities often contain volatile materials. We possess in-depth knowledge of hazardous area classification standards and design electrical systems that comply with these regulations, minimizing the risk of explosions and ensuring personnel safety.
Integration with Automation & Control Systems:Modern onshore operations rely heavily on automation for efficient process control and monitoring. We integrate our electrical designs seamlessly with control systems, ensuring smooth operation and real-time data collection for further optimization.
Project Management & Expertise Sharing:Our team fosters a collaborative approach. We work closely with your project stakeholders, sharing our electrical design expertise to ensure all aspects are well-coordinated, and potential challenges are identified early in the process.
