If you work around upstream production facilities, you have probably heard about vapor recovery units (VRUs) that capture tank vapors and route them to sales, fuel, or control equipment. A Vapor Recovery Tower (VRT) is a related piece of equipment that helps manage vapors earlier in the process. In plain terms, a VRT is a vertical separation vessel designed to reduce the vapor load that would otherwise reach atmospheric storage tanks, which can improve safety and cut emission

In oil and gas production environments, equipment reliability is directly tied to safety, uptime, and asset life. Skid mounted testers operate in some of the most demanding conditions in the field. They are exposed to corrosive fluids, pressure cycling, temperature swings, and harsh outdoor environments. For operators, selecting skid mounted testers built with NACE compliant materials for skid mounted testers is not optional. It is a fundamental requirement for protecting per

In oil and gas manufacturing, quality is defined long before a final inspection ever takes place. It is established through disciplined systems, verified procedures, qualified personnel, and documented accountability at every stage of production. When components are placed into high pressure, corrosive, or safety critical service, there is no margin for informal practices or undocumented decisions. Smith Industries operates under a formal Quality Control Program for every pro

Custom oilfield tank fabrication is often viewed as a tradeoff. Operators assume that when a tank needs to be customized, project timelines will slip, costs will increase, and coordination challenges will grow. In reality, customization does not have to slow a project down when it is handled by an experienced fabricator with proven processes. At Smith Industries, custom oilfield tank fabrication is approached as a structured, controlled process that integrates engineering, fa

Delivery is a critical part of project execution. When you are moving separators, tanks, skid mounted equipment, modules, pipe racks, or other oversized loads, the margin for error gets very small. That is where Escort services for oil and gas equipment delivery become essential. Escort services, sometimes called pilot car services, support the safe movement of oversize or overweight loads by providing traffic control support, communication, hazard identification, and route c

Oil and gas operators across the Permian Basin continue to demand faster project timelines, higher reliability, and partners who can support rapid growth in the region. The ability to deliver infrastructure quickly has become a strategic advantage for companies that need to maintain production, expand capacity, or replace aging assets without prolonged downtime. Smith Industries has become a trusted leader in this arena because of our ability to deliver and install an oil and

Oil and gas production sites operate with complex equipment, elevated platforms, large vessels, and constant movement of people and materials. In these environments, Safe Access Walkways in Oil and Gas Facilities are essential for keeping workers protected and ensuring the facility can run at peak efficiency. Walkways support daily operations, maintenance tasks, inspections, and emergency response efforts. They also help operators meet federal safety standards while reducing

In the oil and gas industry, production efficiency depends on far more than the steel, welds, or pressure ratings of field equipment. Today’s operators expect equipment that arrives ready to perform with accurate measurement, reliable controls, and safe electrical systems already integrated. This is why more companies are turning to skid mounted equipment that includes complete Instrumentation and Electrical Packages. These packages transform a standard mechanical build into

The demand for reliable storage equipment in the energy sector continues to grow as operators focus on safety, product integrity, and long term value. Fiberglass Storage Tanks for oil and gas have become a preferred solution for many operators who want corrosion resistant equipment with predictable performance in harsh environments. At Smith Industries, we take this expectation seriously. Every fiberglass tank we produce follows a disciplined lifecycle that begins with raw ma

When you operate in oil and gas production, every storage decision has upstream and downstream consequences. That is why the choice to specify Monogrammed Storage Tanks is about more than a logo on a nameplate. It is a statement that the tank’s design, materials, fabrication, inspection, and documentation follow a recognized specification that helps you control risk, simplify compliance, and protect uptime. At Smith Industries, we build both monogrammed and non-monogrammed ta

In oil and gas production, separation equipment is the cornerstone of efficient, safe, and high-quality output. The fluids that emerge from a well are rarely pure. They are a mix of hydrocarbons, produced water, and natural gas under varying pressures and temperatures. To make these flows usable for downstream processing, producers rely on 3-phase separators. At Smith Industries, we manufacture 3-phase separators engineered for precision, reliability, and longevity. Every ves

When it comes to industrial fluid storage, few decisions are as critical as choosing the right tank material. The most common choices, steel tanks vs fiberglass tanks, each bring unique advantages and considerations depending on the environment, stored material, and long-term maintenance expectations. At Smith Industries, where custom steel storage tanks are designed and fabricated to meet API 12F and 12D standards, the choice of material is a matter of performance, reliabili

When it comes to industrial fluid storage, not all tanks are created equal. For many operators in the oil and gas, chemical, and water treatment industries, BBL Steel Cone Bottom Tanks offer a reliable, long-lasting solution that combines strength, efficiency, and design flexibility. Whether they are used for storing crude oil, produced water, or chemical mixtures, these tanks are built to handle demanding environments while maintaining easy maintenance and drainage performan

When produced fluids reach the surface, they rarely arrive in neat, separate streams. Crude oil, water, gas, and fine solids often travel together as tight emulsions that are difficult to break in a reasonable footprint or timeframe. A heater treater is the workhorse that warms, settles, and separates those phases so downstream equipment, storage, and sales points run smoothly. Choosing the right heater treater is not a one size fits all decision. It depends on your productio
