Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has established a specialized Oil & Gas Division within Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, its Houston-based U.S. subsidiary. 

MHI says it will provide one stop solutions to upstream, LNG and downstream markets by strengthening the combined functions for various products such as compressors and gas turbines.

MHI's Oil & Gas Division has opened a dedicated office in downtown Houston. The division will focus on identifying, developing, and leading business opportunities for turbomachinery and engineered solutions including growth areas such as floating production, LNG, plant modularization, CO2 enhanced oil recovery, gas processing and petrochemicals.
