The production of crude oil – which eventually gets processed to feed many of our growing energy demands – comes at a great expense. It involves a process that places the highest demands on personnel and equipment. Such extreme operating conditions require the most advanced and secure of safety standards. Enter Dräger.

Dräger’s reliable and durable equipment is adaptable to specific hazards and always meets standards for safety – and our fully-equipped workshops give personnel the training they need to work in potentially hazardous environments. Dealing with oil and gas is not the most relaxing job – but with Dräger by your side, you can breathe easier when you’re doing it.

Areas of application in the Oil & Gas industry

Well prepared in handling hazardous substances: Dräger offers a wide range of gas detection systems, personal protection equipment and supporting services.

Safety comes first

Oil and gas production always involves the potential release of combustible gases and liquids. For this reason, harmful substance emissions must be monitored at all times. Dräger offers proven stationary and portable measuring and monitoring systems that reliably emit acoustic and visual alarms whenever critical levels are detected. Dräger fire and gas systems technology reacts reliably and sensitively to smoke and any abnormal temperature rises, quickly preventing the spread of fires. Dräger’s advanced breathing air supply units are available for situations when oxygen levels become depleted and in addition, our escape equipment is always ready and easy to use should the need arise.

In parallel to our extensive product portfolio, Dräger also offers advisory support and consultation services including analysis of needs and demands, planning, training, seminars and the installation of technology such as monitoring devices – as well as respiratory protection and escape solutions.

In short, Dräger can help you to look after your people, protect your assets and support your safety goals. Offering a total solution, Dräger combines specialist knowledge of both the offshore and onshore oil, gas and petrochem industries with innovative products and professional services to suit every application.

High Demand Consumption – delivered daily!

Time is money. The demand for oil and gas is so high, that it truly is produced today, processed tomorrow and consumed the next day – leaving no room for a temporary storage facility. Transport of oil & gas happens via undersea pipelines or ships and, of course, the highest safety standards must apply to feeding those pipelines and loading carriers in order to avoid unnecessary risks, hazards and potential dangerous leakage. Dräger detection technology provides essential and speedy support for plant and facility operators in the construction and servicing of piping and platforms that are used. Dräger’s specially designed systems are also available and can be adapted to specific customer requirements – enabling this fast-paced industry to keep up to speed - above and below sea level.

Tailored Training – Preparation to Be the Best

​High-quality training is crucial to reducing the risk of injury – to Oil & Gas workers in both off and onshore applications. All round protection against H2S and other toxic and explosive gases is of course essential to the safety of not only staff but also the installations and infrastructure in which they work.

Dräger’s new Aberdeen Service Centre also offers a range of training solutions which includes OPITO-approved H2S Basic Safety training as well as a series of Authorised Gas Tester courses and training on the use, care and maintenance of all types of breathing apparatus and gas detection equipment.  Providing state-of-the-art service workshop facilities, the Bridge of Don centre guarantees cost-effective and time-efficient maintenance of breathing apparatus, personal escape systems and gas detection equipment. 

Offering a complete health and safety solution locally, from Aberdeen, Dräger understands the safety risks faced by those working in the oil, gas and petrochem industries on a daily basis.

Rental needs covered: In addition to our training facilities, solutions for temporary projects or contracts can also be met by Dräger’s wide-reaching rental options. These options give our customers an extensive range of respiratory and portable gas detection products – both on a short or long-term basis.
