Subsurface compression systems for natural gas production optimization
Upwing Energy manufactures and deploys subsurface compressor systems to increase gas recovery from existing wells. The tech stack is hardware-focused—LabVIEW, MATLAB, PLC, CAN, MODBUS, and Allen-Bradley controls—reflecting embedded systems engineering. Current hiring heavily weights manufacturing and engineering roles at mid-to-senior levels, and active projects center on variable-speed drive optimization, production scheduling, and supply-chain resilience (5S safety, spare-parts availability, lead-time reduction), signaling a transition from prototype to scaled manufacturing operations.
Notable leadership hires: Manufacturing Director
Upwing Energy designs and manufactures subsurface compression systems that boost natural gas production from existing wells without new drilling or hydraulic fracturing. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Cerritos, California, the company serves upstream oil and gas operators looking to maximize recovery while minimizing capital and environmental footprint. The business model centers on delivering an end-to-end natural gas service via proprietary subsurface compressor hardware. Current scaling efforts focus on production-schedule optimization, supply-chain efficiency (spare-parts logistics, lead-time management), and manufacturing process controls.
Upwing manufactures subsurface compressor systems that increase natural gas recovery from existing wells. The technology uses variable-speed drives, PLC controls, and embedded firmware (MATLAB, LabVIEW, C/C++) to optimize downhole compression without drilling new wells.
Upwing Energy is headquartered in Cerritos, California, and is a privately held company with 51–200 employees. All current hiring is in the United States.
