OVERVIEW

Helping to face today’s downstream challenges

In today's evolving energy landscape, downstream oil and gas
companies face the challenge of balancing numerous complex
forces — all the while navigating the intricacies of the new
energy transition.


By definition, downstream refers to the final stages of the oil and gas
value chain. It encompasses the refining of crude oil and processing of
natural gas into finished products, such as petroleum, diesel, jet fuel,
pharmaceuticals, lubricants and petrochemicals. These refined goods are
then distributed to consumers through retail and commercial channels.


To better understand the oil and gas industry, it's essential to differentiate the
three primary sectors in addition to downstream: upstream and midstream.
Upstream focuses on the exploration and production of crude oil and natural
gas reserves. Midstream operations involve the transportation, storage, and
wholesale marketing of crude oil, natural gas, and refined products.


Some downstream leaders are evolving business models to prioritise lowcarbon alternatives such as hydrogen and biofuels. Others are focused on
enhancing operational efficiency to offset capital expenditures. No matter the
downstream initiative, John Crane’s solutions are engineered to deliver
reliability and sustainability.


John Crane’s downstream portfolio includes a comprehensive range of
mechanical seals and support systems, couplings and filtration solutions.
Designed with reliability and sustainability at the core, these innovations meet
the demands of pumps, compressors and turbines across the downstream value
chain.
