High-Pressure Reliability in Upstream Oil & Gas Operations
New whitepaper explores how dependable fluid power technology supports safer, more efficient operations across the Oil & Gas industry
Reliability Has Become the New Benchmark
Operators are no longer focused solely on achieving higher pressures. They require systems that can maintain performance over long operating lifecycles, withstand harsh environments and support safety-critical operations with absolute confidence.

“Across the industries we serve, reliability has become the new benchmark,” said Haskel’s Global Product Management Lead, Robbie Harbison.
The Rising Cost of Failure

According to the whitepaper, the financial and operational consequences of failure continue to rise. Deepwater and ultra-deepwater projects are growing in scale and complexity, while maintenance interventions can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars per day. As a result, fluid power systems are increasingly expected to deliver fail-safe operation, pressure stability, corrosion resistance and long service life. From emergency shutdown valves, wellhead control systems and blowout preventers to hydrostatic testing, bolt tensioning and accumulator charging, high-pressure fluid power technologies are fundamental to maintaining safe and efficient operations.
Pumps, Compressors and Valves for Hazardous and Remote Environments

Haskel’s portfolio of high pressure pumps, compressors, valves and engineered systems supports a broad range of applications requiring precise pressure generation, storage and control. Designed for hazardous and remote environments, Haskel solutions provide energy-independent operation, making them particularly valuable where electrical power may be unavailable or unsuitable.
Engineering Priorities Shaping the Future of Fluid Power
The whitepaper further identifies several engineering priorities shaping the future of fluid power, including:
- Long-term reliability in harsh operating environments
- Redundant and fail-safe system architectures
- Advanced sealing technologies and corrosion-resistant materials
- Digital monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities
- Support for hydrogen and alternative energy applications
- Higher pressure ratings for next-generation infrastructure
