GDI Oilfield & Remote Operations

Oilfield & Remote Operations

When your door operator is 6 hours from the nearest shop — and 30 below freezing — failure isn’t an option. That’s why field crews and energy sites trust GDI.

Engineered for Isolation. Proven in the Cold.

The oilfield is not a friendly place for electronics. Blowing snow, frigid temperatures, corrosive mud, and limited on-site support make failure a daily risk. GDI openers are cold-rated, sealed tight, and modular for fast field replacement. Trusted across remote stations and refueling hubs.
