Oil and Gas

Safely Optimize Your Operations

Oil and Gas operators face volatile markets, strict compliance, and hazardous environments. From production to storage and export, unmanaged pressure and vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. events, flashback Flashback Phenomenon occurring in a flammable mixture of air and gas when the local velocity of the combustible mixture becomes less than the flame velocity, causing the flame to travel back to the point of mixture. , and vapor handling failures risk people, assets, and uptime.

How PROTEGO® helps

Since 1954, we have engineered and built Flame Arresters Flame arrester Device fitted to the opening of an enclosure, or to the connecting pipe work of a system of enclosures, and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of a flame. , Pressure and Vacuum Relief Valves, and Tank Safety Systems backed by the world’s largest flame arresting R&D center, serving upstream, midstream, downstream, and LNG.

We pair application-specific engineering with certified products to control explosions, manage tank pressure Tank pressure Tank pressure is the pressure within a tank. , and handle vapors safely across terminals, pipelines, and processing.

Zero flashback incidents
when sized, located, and maintained per application
Higher uptime & lower losses
via correct tank breathing and explosion protection
Lifecycle confidence
with maintenance-friendly designs and global service
Compliance made simpler
with documented test data and manuals

PROTEGO® breather valves, after evaluation, have been added to the approved vendors list within Shell Global Solutions (US). This list, also know as the SMFL (Suggested Manufacturers and Fabricators List), is used by our Refineries, Chemical Plants, and Capital Projects Group in the United States.
