Midstream operations form the crucial link between upstream, which involves the exploration and production of oil and gas, and downstream; the distribution and marketing process. Specifically, midstream encompasses the transportation, storage and, in some cases, initial processing of crude oil, natural gas and related products. This segment is vital for ensuring raw resources are efficiently delivered from production sites to refineries and end markets. Midstream operations are often managed by specialised regional entities.
Today’s midstream industry is full of complexities. The technology and regulatory landscapes continue to evolve rapidly, transforming how organisations approach transportation and storage. Meanwhile, market volatility is on the rise and the workforce is undergoing one of the most significant shifts in the last decade. John Crane is committed to delivering mechanical sealing, filtration and coupling solutions that help the midstream industry navigate these challenges.
John Crane has been at the forefront of oil and gas mechanical sealing innovation for decades. Today, our solutions continue to strengthen the midstream value chain - from crude oil and gas pipelines to tanker operations and the storage of petroleum, natural gas and renewable energy sources. We combine our pump and turbomachinery innovations with service capabilities that are engineered to meet our customers’ organisational goals.
