In the demanding world of energy production, the reliability of your equipment is everything. Oil and gas pumps play a crucial role in extracting, transporting, refining, and distributing petroleum products safely and efficiently. From upstream exploration sites to downstream refineries, the right pumping solutions ensure that operations run smoothly, costs stay low, and downtime is kept to an absolute minimum.

At MultiTorque, we supply and service a wide range of oil and gas pumps designed to meet the toughest industrial standards.

What Are Oil and Gas Pumps?

Oil and gas pumps are heavy-duty industrial pumps built to handle the aggressive fluids, high pressures, and harsh environments common in the petroleum sector. These pumps are engineered to move crude oil, natural gas liquids, refined fuels, chemicals, and slurries across various stages of production and processing.

Given the high-value nature of oil and gas assets, pumps in this industry must deliver consistent performance, even under extreme conditions such as high temperatures, corrosive fluids, and remote locations.

Types of Oil and Gas Pumps

Several types of pumps are commonly used across the oil and gas supply chain:

• Centrifugal Pumps: Ideal for transferring large volumes of fluids quickly, commonly used in refineries and midstream transport pipelines.

• Positive Displacement Pumps: Such as gear, screw, and piston pumps. These handle high-viscosity fluids and provide a steady flow at variable pressures.

• Multiphase Pumps: Designed to move mixtures of oil, gas, and water simultaneously from wells without needing to separate the phases first.

• Submersible Pumps: Used in offshore and onshore production to lift fluids from deep underground wells.

• Metering Pumps: Precisely control the injection of chemicals into pipelines to prevent corrosion, scaling, and hydrate formation.

Each pump type plays a specific role depending on the stage of the operation, the nature of the fluid, and environmental conditions.

Key Features to Look For

When selecting oil and gas pumps, key features to consider include:

• Corrosion Resistance: Pumps must be built from materials that resist corrosion from hydrocarbons, saltwater, and chemicals.

• High Pressure Handling: Systems often operate under extreme pressures that require robust designs.

• Explosion-Proof Ratings: Safety is paramount—pumps must comply with hazardous location standards like ATEX or IECEx.

• Efficiency: Energy-efficient pumps reduce operating costs and carbon emissions.

• Ease of Maintenance: Modular designs and readily available spare parts speed up repairs and limit downtime.

At MultiTorque, we only supply pumps that meet or exceed global standards for the oil and gas sector.

Common Applications for Oil and Gas Pumps

Oil and gas pumps are involved in almost every part of the energy lifecycle, including:

• Upstream Operations: Moving crude oil from wells to storage tanks or gathering systems.

• Midstream Transport: Pushing oil and gas through pipelines over long distances.

• Downstream Refining: Assisting in chemical processing, refining, and blending operations.

• Injection Systems: Delivering precise amounts of treatment chemicals into flowlines.

• Offshore Platforms: Handling everything from seawater injection to oil lifting under extreme marine conditions.

Choosing the right pump improves productivity, reduces risks, and supports regulatory compliance across your operation.
