Powering Reliability

ProTorque’s Electrical Capabilities in Midstream Operations

Midstream oil and gas facilities depend on robust electrical and instrumentation systems to keep product flowing safely and efficiently. From compressor stations in the Permian Basin to water treatment facilities on pipeline networks, ProTorque Energy Midstream (PTEM) provides specialized electrical installation expertise to ensure these critical operations run with maximum reliability and safety. Electrical failures in industrial settings can trigger costly unplanned downtime, equipment damage, or even safety incidents. PTEM’s integrated electrical and instrumentation services are designed to prevent such issues by delivering technically precise installations backed by a strong safety culture and continuous support.

Comprehensive Electrical & Instrumentation Services

ProTorque offers a full suite of Instrumentation and Electrical (I&E) capabilities tailored to midstream projects. Our I&E team handles everything from designing and installing power distribution and control systems to calibrating sensitive field instruments. This full-service electrical support means we can take on tasks like laying conduit and wiring for new facility upgrades, programming PLCs/SCADA for pipeline control, and performing ongoing electrical maintenance and instrumentation calibration. Importantly, these services are part of PTEM’s turn-key project approach – we integrate civil, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation work under one roof. By entrusting one experienced provider with all project phases, clients gain a single point of accountability and seamless coordination across disciplines.

Our electricians and instrument technicians are highly trained in the latest industry standards and technologies. PTEM invests heavily in workforce training; electricians and instrumentation techs train on the latest systems, ensuring they arrive on site ready to execute tasks correctly and safely. This technical preparation covers working in hazardous (classified) environments, adhering to electrical codes, and fine-tuning control systems for optimal performance. Whether it’s retrofitting a pump station with modern motor controls or installing new flow meters and transmitters at a processing plant, our specialists apply proven procedures to get the job done right the first time.

Reliability, Safety, and Precision by Design

Every aspect of ProTorque’s electrical services is geared toward enhancing operational reliability and safety for midstream operators. We understand that even minor electrical issues – a loose connection or mis-calibrated sensor – can have outsized impacts on a facility’s uptime and safety. That’s why quality assurance is built into our processes. Our teams follow stringent testing and inspection protocols on all new installations and repairs, identifying potential problems before equipment is brought online. By adhering to rigorous standards (such as NFPA 70E electrical safety practices) and double-checking work, we help clients avoid unexpected outages and safety hazards that can result from subpar electrical work.

Key benefits of PTEM’s specialized electrical focus include:

  • Enhanced Reliability: Robust electrical design and proper installation reduce failures. With our preventive maintenance and careful commissioning, clients see fewer disruptions and more consistent facility uptime. In fact, our training-driven, disciplined approach directly translates to greater reliability in the field.

  • Safety Assurance: All work is executed with a safety-first mindset – from using explosion-proof fixtures in classified areas to strict lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance. Our thorough safety protocols and experienced crews lead to fewer safety incidents, protecting personnel and assets.

  • Technical Precision: We bring deep instrumentation expertise that ensures accurate measurements and control. Every instrument is calibrated and every control loop tested, yielding precise operation of pumps, compressors, and process systems. This precision not only optimizes performance but also supports compliance in areas like custody transfer metering and emissions control.

  • Integrated Support: Because PTEM can handle electrical, instrumentation, and mechanical scopes together, clients receive truly integrated support. There are no gaps between contractors – our team sees the whole project through from power supply tie-ins to final instrument checkout. This one-stop approach simplifies project management and often accelerates schedules, since multiple trades are coordinated internally. It also means we remain available 24/7 post-project for any support or troubleshooting, giving facility operators peace of mind that expert help is always a phone call away.

Real-World Applications

ProTorque’s electrical capabilities have been proven across a range of midstream scenarios. For example, in facility upgrade projects our crew might replace aging motor control centers and re-wire pump skids to increase throughput safely. In pipeline gathering systems, we install remote terminal units (RTUs) and solar-powered SCADA instrumentation at valve sites to provide operators with real-time data and control. We’ve helped bring produced-water recycling facilities online by integrating high-horsepower pumps, automated valve controls, and tank level instrumentation into a unified control system. In each case, our clients benefit from the reliability and efficiency gains that come with expert electrical craftsmanship.

By combining decades of field experience with disciplined engineering practices, PTEM delivers electrical solutions that midstream operators can trust. The result for our clients is infrastructure that performs as intended, day in and day out, underpinned by safe design and execution. With reliable power, accurate instrumentation, and integrated support from ProTorque, midstream facilities are “powered up” for success – operating smoothly, safely, and ready to meet the demands of today’s energy industry.
