Pipeline engineering

What is pipeline engineering?

Pipelines are perhaps the most vital elements of many oil and gas systems. Failure, for whatever reason will result in a total stoppage of production - and cash flow - for an extended period.

Pipeline engineering is the application of appropriate knowledge and experience in the performance of these components to ensure that they are designed suitably and can be operated to deliver acceptable performance.

How we can help

We have substantial experience of sub-sea and land pipelines.

Our sub-sea expertise includes high temperature high pressure service conditions, pipe in pipe systems, reeled systems, deepwater, flexible pipe and riser systems. Assessments cover on-bottom stability, upheaval, spanning, strain-based design, limit state design and probabilistic design.

Our software systems enable us to undertake advanced analysis for lateral and upheaval buckling, riser dynamics, and fitness-for-purpose assessments and life-extension studies on existing lines.

Database and risk assessment methods are used to establish operational inspection strategies.

What are the benefits?

We can overcome many of these issues by providing a total package of pipelines integrity management and engineering services either in support of larger oil and gas and industry projects or as a stand alone consultancy.

We can help ensure that your investment in pipelines either during initial design or during operation is optimised to deliver appropriate standards of safety and operational performance.
