Credibility

Over 50 years protecting what keeps the world moving

Proven control systems delivered to upstream operators across five continents, backed by more than a half-century of field-verified performance.

 

From the Gulf of Mexico to the North Sea, the Middle East to the Arctic, major E&P operators trust our control systems. With thousands of installations and millions of collective operating hours on critical turbomachinery, our solutions help define industry practice rather than just meet it. Programmed to IEC 61131-3 on commercial platforms, they give customers long-term flexibility and ownership, full access to configuration, calibration, and application logic to operate, maintain, and expand.

Applications

Control systems built for every layer of upstream operations

From gas lift to waterflood, from well-site generators to offshore platforms, precision control for every critical asset. Click to expand each application.

Gas Lift Compressor Control

Maintain optimal lift-gas injection while protecting centrifugal compressors from surge, overload, and variable suction conditions.

Plant Power Systems & Generator Load Sharing

Isochronous load sharing for stable operation of multiple generator sets on isolated facility grids.

Integrated fire water pump control with automatic start on demand, test sequencing, and status reporting, engineered to support NFPA 20 and listed fire pump controllers.

Gas Gathering Compressor Control

Stable suction pressure and throughput across single and multi-train stations; anti-surge, capacity, recycle, and multi-unit coordination.

Anti-Surge & Compressor Protection Control

Fast, deterministic surge protection for centrifugal compressors under variable inlet conditions, including startup, shutdown, and upset events.

Waterflood & Water Injection Pump Control

Isochronous real/reactive load sharing and load-add/shed sequencing for stable operation across multiple generator sets.

Waterflood & Water Injection Pump Control

Isochronous real/reactive load sharing and load-add/shed sequencing for stable operation across multiple generator sets.

Pigging & Station Automation

Automated pig launching/receiving integrated with compressor station controls at remote and unmanned facilities.

Waterflood & Water Injection Pump Control

Isochronous real/reactive load sharing and load-add/shed sequencing for stable operation across multiple generator sets.

Gas Turbine & Reciprocating Engine Control

Start/stop sequencing, speed governing, fuel control, and protective shutdown for compression and power-generation drivers.

Hazardous Area Control Systems

Design, fabrication, and certification of control panels for hazardous areas (UL, ATEX, and project-specific), supporting NEC 500 Class/Division and NEC 505/IEC/ATEX Zone classifications.

Gas Turbine & Reciprocating Engine Control

Start/stop sequencing, speed governing, fuel control, and protective shutdown for compression and power-generation drivers.

Where We Work

The upstream assets we control

Typical engagements span wellsite compression, injection, and power across onshore fields, offshore platforms, and remote gathering.
Lift-gas injection control that protects centrifugal compressors from surge under swinging suction.
Pressure and flow control on high-pressure injection pumps with variable- and fixed-speed drivers.
Rotating-equipment and process controls engineered for hazardous-area, weight-constrained platforms.
Multi-train compressor coordination, anti-surge, and recycle control across the gathering network.
Automatic start-on-demand and test sequencing engineered to support NFPA 20 fire pump controllers.
Certified control panels for classified areas (UL, ATEX, IECEx) across NEC 500/505 Zone/Division schemes.
Isochronous load sharing for multiple generator sets on isolated well-site and facility grids.

Engineering Depth

Engineering depth that sets us apart

Application-specific control systems tailored to your generators, switchgear, and reliability objectives, using proven strategies refined over 50+ years.

OEM Independence

Independent of the turbine, engine, and compressor OEMs: we can upgrade and control virtually any machine, regardless of manufacturer or vintage. One partner for the whole fleet, and full negotiating leverage with your suppliers.
Platform Flexibility
Built on commercially available hardware and IEC 61131-3. Your team, integrators, and third-party engineers can access, support, and modify the system without proprietary licenses. You choose the upgrade path.
Data Gathering & DCS/SCADA Integration
We gather real-time equipment data, vibration, bearing temperatures, performance, steam conditions, and integrate it into your DCS, SCADA, and historian for trending, alarming, and operator visibility in one system.
Factory Acceptance Testing
Before shipment, your team participates in a FAT simulating field inputs and operating conditions, startup, load rejection, trip, and ESD, verifying I/O, sequencing, control, and protective logic against the actual hardware.
True Turnkey Delivery
Engineering, P&ID review, panel fabrication, integration and factory test, site I&E installation, loop checking, commissioning, startup, training, and 24/7 support under a single contract.
Global Delivery, Local Compliance

Engineering in New Orleans (HQ), Houston, and the UK; projects executed worldwide to local codes and area classifications (IECEx, ATEX, NEC 500/505) with protective functions engineered to support SIL 2/3 where the project requires.

How We Deliver

From engineering to commissioning to 24/7 support

A control system is only as good as the team that scopes it, builds it, commissions it, and supports it, and we do all of it under one accountability.

Turnkey Design / Build

Single-vendor responsibility from initial scope through commissioning, reducing interface risk and tightening the schedule.

Installation & Commissioning

Experienced field crews who’ve commissioned the equipment before. Schedule discipline, even during shutdowns.

Remote & On-Site Support

24/7 engineering support and rapid on-site response from the team that built the system.

Trusted Worldwide

Trusted by the names you know

Active installations across North America (Gulf of Mexico, Alaska), South America, the North Sea / UK Continental Shelf, the Middle East, West Africa, and Asia-Pacific.

A MESSAGE FROM JOHN KAZOUR, CEO

Welcome to Innova Technologies

To our customers and partners,

For more than 50 years, our team has helped customers keep critical operations running. We built our reputation as Petrotech by taking responsibility for control systems on important rotating machinery.

As more industries came to us with similar challenges across power generation, compression, and hydro applications, our engineering team kept finding ways to solve them. Eventually, the business outgrew the Petrotech name.

We are entering our next chapter as Innova Technologies. The new name reflects the full scope of our work as a rotating machinery control systems specialist. We engineer controls around the machine, deliver complete projects from design through commissioning, and provide support that stays with the problem until it is solved.

Our name is changing, but the people, engineering experience, and commitment behind the work continue. Our responsibility to active projects and installed systems carries forward under the Innova Technologies name. Your current contacts remain the right place to start, and we will communicate directly if an administrative record requires an update.

We appreciate the trust you have placed in us over the decades, and we look forward to continuing that work as Innova Technologies.

John Kazour

CEO, Innova Technologies
