Oil, Gas and Water

Oil, gas, and water infrastructure depends on rugged, long-lifecycle electronics. From wellhead control and pipeline monitoring to smart metering and treatment telemetry, systems must operate in hazardous zones, corrosive environments, extreme temperatures and high vibration. OEMs also face strict demands for safety, cybersecurity, compliance and long-term traceability across low-to-medium volume, high-mix programmes.

How We Can Help – Our Solutions

From prototypes to mission-critical systems, EC Electronics ensures reliable, compliant manufacturing for oil, gas and water applications:

  • End-to-End Manufacturing – PCBA, precision cable & harness and full box-build with enclosure integration, firmware load and system test
  • Rugged Capability – Automated conformal coating, potting and encapsulation to protect against moisture, chemicals and vibration
  • Tailored Test Engineering – Custom fixtures for pressure/flow I/O, valve/actuator control, RTU/SCADA and power systems, with serialisation and full data capture
  • Compliance-Ready Processes – ISO 9001-backed systems and experience with CE/UKCA, EMC, ATEX/IECEx, SIL workflows and IEC 62443
  • Supply Chain Strength – UK/EU manufacturing, vetted supplier networks and lifecycle risk management
  • Structured NPI – DFM/DFT reviews, controlled documentation and ECO management for reliable scale-up
Challenges

Mission-critical electronics in oil, gas & water must overcome extreme conditions and tough standards:

  • Reliability in hazardous, corrosive and high-stress environments
  • Functional safety, cybersecurity and global compliance requirements
  • Lifecycle management for equipment in service 10–20+ years
  • Testing strategies that prove durability, safety and traceability
  • Agility to move from prototype to repeatable, stable production
