Sprung is redefining oil and gas infrastructure by delivering fast, durable and cost-effective building solutions in some of the most extreme environments on Earth.

The rapidly evolving oil and gas industry faces mounting challenges, from rising operational costs to supply chain disruptions, environmental regulations and unpredictable weather conditions. In response, businesses must adopt smarter, faster and cost-effective building solutions to stay competitive. Industry leaders looking to tackle these issues head-on are already turning to Sprung to deliver innovative tensioned membrane structures—a durable, flexible alternative to traditional construction, built in a fraction of the time.

With nearly 140 years of experience, Sprung sets the global standard for tensioned membrane structures, having deployed over 12,000 buildings in more than 100 countries. Thanks to decades of refinement, Sprung has optimized every aspect of its building process, from materials and engineering to streamlined delivery and installation. The modular design of our structures, paired with their key structural components—a military- grade aluminum substructure, a high-performance architectural membrane and optional premium fiberglass insulation—ensures every Sprung building provides strength, speed and long-term value, making them the ideal solution for oil and gas applications.

In an industry where delays in development can lead to millions in lost revenue, building with speed and efficiency is crucial. Sprung maintains over two million square feet of inventory and delivers directly from its own global facilities for fast and reliable deployment, avoiding supply chain bottlenecks and keeping projects on schedule. Minimal foundation requirements expand location options and enable immediate construction, so oil and gas companies get operational faster, maximizing productivity and profitability. 

Build Faster with Sustainable, Adaptable Solutions

With sustainability becoming an industry priority, companies are looking to minimize environmental footprints. Sprung supports sustainability goals by engineering structures that meet international environmental and quality standards. Every structure is made using responsibly produced resources and innovative design elements:

• Lightweight and fully recyclable, the aluminum substructures contain at least 45 per cent recycled materials, reducing manufacturing waste and emissions.
• A virtually airtight building envelope enhances thermal efficiency, thanks to a continuous layer of premium fiberglass insulation containing recycled materials.
• Highly translucent daylight panels minimize reliance on artificial lighting while maintaining a bright interior atmosphere.
• The modular design and construction process enables cost-effective shipping and produces nearly no landfill waste.

By making sustainable choices in building materials and practices, Sprung supports organizations striving to meet environmental goals.

Oil and gas operations often take place in some of the world’s most extreme environments, from the frozen Arctic tundra to scorching desert dunes. They require infrastructure that stands up to the elements—a challenge Sprung builds for. Engineered with rust-resistant aluminum frames, interwoven, reinforced ripstop membranes and an exclusive design that optimizes insulation efficiency, Sprung structures stand tough in high winds, heavy snow loads and extreme temperatures—an unbeatable level of resilience proven in severe weather events, from major hurricanes to intense blizzards.

With safety being a top concern in the oil and gas industry, Sprung’s facilities meet or exceed most global building codes, even the stringent Miami/Dade Hurricane Code. Safety features include fire-retardant materials, airtight designs for better HVAC efficiency and robust structural integrity. By prioritizing safety and compliance, Sprung provides buildings that align with industry regulations while safeguarding personnel and equipment.

Oil and gas operations are constantly evolving, and Sprung engineers its structures to adapt. Sprung’s modular design allows for seamless expansion, repurposing and relocation as operational needs shift. In such a dynamic industry, this level of flexibility is a key advantage for businesses looking to avoid time-consuming modifications and costly operational disruptions.

Proven in the Oil Fields

Sprung’s versatile tensioned membrane building solutions are trusted by industry leaders worldwide, having been successfully deployed in oil and gas projects around the globe, from small-scale operations to massive expansions.

For instance, at Andora Energy’s Sawn Lake site in Alberta’s Peace River oil sands, time and budget constraints made traditional construction impractical. Sprung stepped in to provide a steam generation facility and a production building, each featuring daylight panels for natural lighting, a streamlined design and large framed openings for hefty equipment. These relocatable, energy-efficient structures boosted operational efficiency and saved the organization time and money.

Similarly, Marathon Oil relied on Sprung’s rapid deployment and efficiency to immediately deliver two temperature-controlled warehouses for its North Dakota operations. These fully insulated structures featured translucent daylight panels to reduce the need for artificial lighting and rolling service doors for easy access. The quick deployment offered cost savings by minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted operations—all deciding factors when Marathon Oil chose Sprung to later expand each structure.

And, for Tengizchevroil LLP’s massive oil field expansion in Kazakhstan, Sprung rose to the challenge. Pushing through aggressive deadlines and logistical barriers, project leaders successfully deployed 15 Sprung structures—including warehouses, offices and specialty storage facilities—in record time. Despite the remote location, the first warehouse was fully operational just 10 weeks after ordering, showcasing the unrivalled speed and efficiency of Sprung’s solutions.

Whether optimizing operations in Alberta’s oil sands, supporting growth in North Dakota or tackling large-scale expansions in Kazakhstan, Sprung consistently delivers building solutions that meet the oil and gas sector’s toughest demands.

Building for the Future

As the oil and gas industry faces growing economic and environmental pressures, companies must rethink their approach to infrastructure. Speed, flexibility and efficiency are no longer optional—they’re essential for staying competitive.

Sprung’s rapidly deployable tensioned membrane building solutions are proven to be durable in the harshest conditions. They also offer energy efficiency, cost savings and long- term adaptability for future needs, making them an asset for companies preparing for the next phase of industry evolution.

The shift toward more agile building methods is already underway. The question is no longer if companies will adopt these innovations but how quickly they can integrate them into their strategic planning.
