Oil and Gas Industry

The conditions under which oil and gas are extracted are challenging enough as it is. Factors such as location, climate, environment and politics are decisive for all strategic decisions. It is a fascinating industry and we have been a successful part of it for decades.

We are aware of the standards, specific requirements, rules and operating pressures. Costly downtime is also not an option. Maintenance must be fast, safe and reliable, and that is our strength. ERIKS is out in front when it comes to qualified development of compounds for this industry.
