Oil & Gas
The Oil & Gas industry is the largest sector in the world in terms of dollar value, making it a crucial element in the economy’s framework. GPRS manages national Oil & Gas accounts and operations from pipeline to refinery projects, encompassing all phases: upstream, midstream and downstream. We work directly with owners such as: Cheniere, Motiva, Chevron, Dominion, Enerfin, Enterprise, DOW, Shell, Air Products, Air Liquide, etc. Our highly trained project managers have extensive experience locating utilities at compressor stations, pump/lift stations, terminal facilities , tank farms, storage, pipeline mapping, pipe installation (all midstream activities) as well as oil well drilling, refineries, petrochemical plants, and more.
We collaborate with engineering, procurement, supply chain, construction/GC's, and maintenance groups to provide underground utility locating, concrete scanning and video pipe inspection. Our goal in the oil & gas space is to communicate the importance of mapping the subsurface infrastructure inside private and public properties. GPRS provides a comprehensive deliverable of all underground assets to ensure our clients have up-to-date records for future reference. This helps mitigate accidental utility strikes, keeping your projects and facilities safe.
Upstream
GPRS partners with companies that specialize in exploration the drilling boring process in extraction to locate underground utilities. Locating pipelines, flow lines, waterlines associated with drilling, and utilities around production facilities is essential prior to excavation and can provide critical maps for documentation and record keeping purposes.
Midstream
GPS has extensive experience when it comes to locate an underground utilities along pipelines, gathering pipelines, and transmission lines containing natural gas, petroleum oil. Terminals, LNG terminals, and storage facilities are also locations where comprehensive subsurface utility locate is needed.
Downstream
When working inside facilities such as oil refineries, petrochemical plants, petroleum products distributors, and natural gas distribution companies the risk posed by excavation is very high. there are often complex mazes of subsurface facilities that must be located in mapped prior to any digging taking place.
One-Call Services

Approach
Every campus, site and facility have different challenges. Since our inception, GPRS has completed hundreds of thousands of projects and relies on that experience when crafting a site-specific plan for safety, scanning and reporting. With the SIM Specification as our guide, we will craft an individualized approach to each and every project. From facility mapping, locating prior to excavation, to performing one-call locating - GPRS will perform the right service for your scope of work.
One Call Program
GPRS exceed industry performance when it comes to the accuracy of our utility locating. Our team of Project Managers can continue the support of your project by crafting a one-call program fro when your project transitions to the O&M phase.
Public Property
Damage prevention is critical when excavating in a public right-of-way. Using the 811, call before you dig system, is an essential step to take when trying to avoid underground utility strikes. It's the law! GPRS is able to contract and perform one-call type utility locating for your underground assets.
Private Property
A utility locate on private property is not complete until a private utility locator like GPRS has been called to comprehensively locate the entire campus. GPRS can create a one-call type program for your facility or campus in the case that you have utilities that lie within public property.
Embedment
GPRS can place our highly trained PMs within your facility or campus to perform utility locating and concrete scanning services. When our PMs are placed within a facility, many benefits realized when compared with our standard services. Our schedule is at your disposal, there is familiarity with site intricacies, and we can manage as-built drawings for the entire site
As-Built Drawings
As-built utility drawings don't always show the current underground conditions of a site. Drawings that are produced in the design-phase of a project don't always reflect the exact location of underground utilities. Over time, due to renovations, repairs, and additions, as-built drawings become out of date. GPRS PMs are able to update as-built drawings so that they reflect the actual vertical and horizontal position of underground facilities.
