Fabrication & Welding

Fabrication and welding sit at the core of safe, efficient energy infrastructure. With deep experience across upstream and midstream operations, Oak Process Systems delivers precision-built components that meet the demands of high-pressure, high-performance environments.

Our teams handle everything from ASME-coded vessels to field-assembled pipeline systems, built to spec and delivered on schedule. Backed by certified welders and proven processes, OPS supports both new construction and retrofit/maintenance projects as a full-service partner, not just a fabrication shop.

Fabrication and Welding Services

Fabrication and welding serve as the backbone of oil and gas infrastructure. These services bring designs to life by cutting, shaping, fabricating and assembling components that must perform under pressure, heat, and corrosive conditions. From wellsite flowlines and production skids to midstream systems, trained and certified personnel fabricate equipment and structures to ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance across every phase of energy transport and processing.

OPS handles all stages of fabrication in-house. The team builds a host of components with high accuracy, including:

Pressure vessels

Frame-mounted systems

Support structures

Specialty components

Welders follow qualified procedures and work across a range of materials including carbon steel, stainless, and high-performance alloys required for sour service or high-temperature/corrosive conditions.

Certifications and Procedures

OPS welders follow strict procedures qualified to industry standards. The company supports a wide range of welding processes, depending on the application and material, including:

Every weld receives the level of inspection appropriate for the project, ranging from visual and dimensional checks to radiographic and ultrasonic testing for critical components. OPS tracks each weld with full traceability, including including heat number and weld mapping. This commitment to procedure and documentation gives clients confidence that every weld meets or exceeds applicable code and performance expectations.

Modular and Field Services

Fabrication doesn’t stop at the shop. The team builds modular systems designed for easy transport and rapid installation in the field. Skid-mounted vessels, piping spools, and mechanical packages arrive assembled and tested, reducing on-site labor and minimizing startup delays.

For retrofits or field repairs, OPS dispatches certified field crews to weld, modify, or install components on location. These mobile teams bring the same tools, oversight, and quality controls as in-house builds, ensuring consistent results results from the fabrication floor to field deployment.

Piping Fabrication and Installation

Process and utility piping carry oil, gas, water, steam, and chemical streams across all stages of energy production and transport. These systems must withstand high pressure, corrosive materials, temperature fluctuations, and continuous use. OPS fabricates and installs piping systems that meet performance requirements while staying aligned with field conditions and regulatory standards.

The team fabricates pipe spools in-house using qualified welding procedures and certified materials. Every weld receives the appropriate inspection, whether that’s visual, X-ray, or ultrasonic, and each pipe segment gets hydrotested before delivery or installation. The company produces individual spools or complete piping packages that integrate seamlessly with vessels, skids, and modular systems. The team manages key components to reduce network and field delays, including:

Fit-Up Tolerances

Flange Alignments

Supports

OPS also supports piping installation in compressor stations, metering skids, dehydration units, and processing facilities. Crews handle bolt-ups, tie-ins, and final weld-outs either in the shop or on location. The same QA/QC standards and documentation apply, whether the system is delivered preassembled or completed on site.

Types of Piping Supported

OPS fabricates piping systems across a wide range of energy applications. These include:

Sweet and Sour Gas Systems

OPS uses corrosion-resistant materials and qualified procedures to handle H2S, CO2 and aggressive process fluids safely.

Condensate and Produced Water Lines

Quality and Fit-Up Control

OPS controls every step of pipe fabrication. Tradesmen prepare joints using mechanical
beveling or precision machining. Welds follow WPSs with full traceability, and every assembly is
visually verified before inspection or pressure testing. By maintaining this level of discipline,
OPS delivers piping systems that install cleanly, perform consistently, and meet code from end
to end.

Clamps

Spacers

Measured Fit Checks

Welds follow WPSs with full traceability, and every assembly is visually verified before inspection or pressure testing. By maintaining this level of discipline, OPS delivers piping systems that install cleanly, perform consistently, and meet code from end to end.

Pig Launchers and Receivers

Pig launchers and receivers provide access points for cleaning, inspecting, and maintaining oil and gas pipelines. These systems allow operators to insert and retrieve pipeline pigs, tools used to clear buildup, verify internal conditions, or perform inline inspections. OPS fabricates launcher and receiver packages built for long-term service in both gathering lines and transmission systems.

Our team fabricates launchers and receivers to match line diameter, operating pressure, and pig type. The company can fabricate units as standalone barrels or as part of a fully skidded assembly with valves, kickers, and bypasses included. Welders follow certified procedures throughout, and each system undergoes dimensional verification, NDE, and hydrotesting before final delivery.

OPS builds pig launchers and receivers for sweet and sour service, high-velocity lines, and both permanent and temporary installations. The company supplies units for mainline applications, station blowdowns, and smaller laterals. Mounting options include ground, pier (helicoil), or skid-based setups depending on site requirements. Design features include:

The company delivers each unit ready for integration, aligned to match field layout and operational flow.

Installation and Field Readiness

The team prepares every pig trap for rapid field integration. Skid packages include lifting eyes, anchor plates, and valve connections sized to match the project’s isometric drawings. Field crews can bolt up units with minimal cutting or adjustment, reducing installation time and keeping pipeline schedules on track.

Structural Fabrication

Structural components support every piece of process equipment in the field. From vessel skids to elevated platforms, well-built structures provide stability, safety, and long-term performance in harsh environments. Oak Process Systems fabricates structural steel assemblies that integrate with vessels, piping, and mechanical packages for upstream and midstream facilities. The company builds each structure to match the project’s layout, elevation, and loading conditions. Welders work with several materials to meet client specs and environmental requirements, including:

Carbon steel

Stainless

Coated alloys

All welds follow approved procedures, and final assemblies receive dimensional checks to confirm proper fit with related systems. OPS ensures that ladders, platforms, walkways, and pipe supports meet safety codes and field expectations when building:

Welders fabricate heavy-duty baseplates and structural members for compressors, filters, or valve settings.

Field Conditions and Durability

OPS designs structural packages for harsh environments, including marine, desert, and corrosive inland sites. Crews apply coatings, galvanization, or epoxy wraps to prevent rust and weathering. Anchor points, gussets, and lifting lugs allow for safe handling and long-term stability once installed. Whether part of a packaged unit or a standalone install, OPS delivers structural solutions that hold up under pressure, literally and operationally.

Mainline Block Valve Settings

Mainline block valves create critical isolation points along a pipeline system. These valves allow operators to shut off sections for inspection, maintenance, or emergency response without taking the entire line out of service. Each valve setting must perform reliably under pressure, match the pipeline’s geometry, and provide safe operator access.

Welders follow strict procedures to align components with the mainline pipe, ensuring pressure containment and long-term stability. Crews also build the necessary access platforms and anchoring systems to protect the setting under load and simplify field operations.

Valve Setting Components

Erosion control safeguards soil and every structure placed on it. Disturbed zones get protection using erosion blankets, turf mats, or geogrid layers based on slope and exposure. They:

The company engineers these assemblies to meet operational needs while holding alignment and pressure integrity over time.
