Secure and reliable measurement technology for the oil and gas industry

Oil and gas are vital raw materials. To transform them into valuable future products, precisely controlled processes are needed. Wherever oil and gas are extracted, processed or refined, operators demand safety, availability and optimal utilisation. VEGA sensors are the solution for reliable and precise level measurement, limit level detection  and pressure measurement. 

State-of-the-art instrumentation for oil production facilities, refineries and the petrochemical industry

VEGA instruments enable seamless process control in upstream, midstream and downstream applications, delivering precise measurement data even under extreme conditions. Thanks to intelligent diagnostic functions, unplanned downtime can be prevented at an early stage – this maximises plant efficiency and helps to ensure compliance with strict safety and environmental regulations.

Second Line of Defense: Sicherheit auf neuem Level

Second Line of Defense: A new level of safety

In the oil and gas industry, precise measurement data must be available at all times to maintain safe processes. VEGA provides a “Second Line of Defense”, i.e. an additional gas-tight barrier, between the electronics compartment and the sensing element, ensuring that, in the event of a leak, hazardous media remain in the process and that the electronics are protected. Thanks to this measure, leaks are reliably detected and process safety significantly increased.

Smart sensors for the oil and gas industry

Whether guided radar sensors for precise level and interface measurement, non-contact radar level sensors for maximising the efficiency of liquefaction and storage, or robust pressure sensors for timely detection of pressure drops. VEGA instrumentation ensures maximum process safety, excellent planning capabilities and sustainable cost optimisation for upstream, midstream, and downstream applications in the oil and gas industry.


Level sensors

In the oil and gas industry, level sensors ensure precise interface measurement – even in applications with fluctuating temperatures, varying densities and challenging process conditions. Modern technologies enable standardisation across widely different processes as well as maintenance-free operation, digital communication, long-term stability and high availability. Thanks to reduced maintenance requirements, operational efficiency and safety are greatly increased.

Level switches

Level switches serve as reliable safety components in demanding oil and gas processes by detecting leaks and protecting systems from overfilling or running dry as well as from other critical operating conditions. They can be easily integrated into existing systems and ensure the dependable monitoring of minimum and maximum levels in tanks, silos and separators. The use of level switches enables reliable process monitoring, efficient inventory management, avoidance of downtime as well as good plant management and availability. These instruments also guarantee safe plant operation, especially when a potentially explosive atmosphere is present.

Pressure sensors

Pressure transmitters are absolutely necessary in the oil and gas industry for process pressure and hydrostatic pressure measurement as well as for differential pressure applications. Electronic or conventional differential pressure is used to measure the pressure, level, density and flow rate of liquids, suspensions, gases and vapours. All transmitters in the VEGABAR 80 series are compatible for use in an electronic differential pressure system.

Density measurement

In the challenging upstream and heavy oil processes, accurate density measurement is indispensable for reliably distinguishing between oil, water, emulsion and solids like sand, which form layers in process vessels. Radiometric systems enable continuous density monitoring and reliable detection of density differences, even under extreme process conditions and in the presence of thick, multi-layered emulsions. Where other technologies fail, they provide precise level and interface measurements – contactlessly, even through metal tank walls, insulation and heavy buildup. Radiation-based measurement is not affected by pressure, temperature, contamination or viscosity, and thus enables absolutely reliable monitoring as well as maximum process safety and optimisation in the oil and gas industry.

Circular economy & sustainability

With an eye to the future, the oil and gas industry has promoted the importance of a circular economy and sustainability as key priorities. Precise information about materials and their condition is indispensable in processes that recycle and reuse products. Sustainable processes can be controlled with highly accurate measurement technology, which forms the basis for transparent data flows. Thanks to decades of experience in the oil and gas industry, VEGA can offer instrumentation tailored to the specific requirements of individual processes. Flexible, long-lasting solutions help to increase operational safety and reduce costs, thereby guaranteeing a sustainable future.

Conserving resources and reducing waste

The use of VEGA instrumentation helps to minimise energy consumption and thus also conserve resources in other areas. The precise level transmitters, level switches and pressure transmitters not only reduce operating costs but also help to prevent waste.

Hydrogen and CCS

VEGA instrumentation supports hydrogen applications and carbon dioxide storage (CCS) with highly precise and reliable pressure and level measurement. The sensor technologies help to ensure that hydrogen is stored and transported safely and that CO₂ capture and storage functions smoothly.

Circular economy

Recycling processes – whether mechanical or chemical – require precise data. VEGA level and pressure sensors enable efficient material separation, while in chemical recycling, they ensure optimal process conditions. VEGA sensors thus make a significant contribution to resource conservation and efficiency in the circular economy.

Sustainable measurement technology

In oil production facilities and refineries as well as the petrochemical industry in general, durable, robust sensors are an essential factor for improving sustainability. For that reason, VEGA emphasizes the reparability of its products and offers comprehensive maintenance services. The myVEGA portal and the digital twin enables status monitoring, which contributes to a long instrument service life.
