Recon Technology provides automation systems, specialized equipment, and environmental services primarily to Chinese state-owned oil and gas companies, including CNPC and Sinopec. Recon's automation portfolio includes supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software, sensors, controllers, and remote terminal units that enable operators to monitor and manage extraction wells, pipelines, and processing facilities remotely. Its equipment business manufactures high-efficiency heating furnaces and burners that remove crude oil impurities and prevent pipeline blockages. Recon also provides oilfield environmental solutions, such as wastewater treatment and oily sludge disposal. The company operates through variable interest entity arrangements in China and generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts rather than recurring models. In addition to oilfield services, Recon operates gas station digitalization solutions and a waste plastic chemical recycling facility that produces pyrolysis oil. Recon focuses on expanding its higher-margin proprietary software and engineering services, increasing project volume with state-owned petroleum producers, and diversifying into clean energy and circular economy markets.
