What We Do

Engineering Services

Integrated process, automation and field instrumentation capabilities for offshore and onshore oil & gas facilities — from concept through operations.

Process Engineering

Process Engineering

Front-end, detailed and operational process engineering for offshore and onshore facilities, including wellhead platforms, FPSOs/MOPUs/FLNG, gas plants, LNG trains and petrochemical complexes.

Discuss Your Project

Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED)

  • Process design basis and concept development.
  • Heat and Material Balances (HMB) and Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs).
  • Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) – preparation and review.
  • Equipment sizing – separators, heat exchangers, compressors, pumps, control valves.
  • Line sizing and hydraulic calculations.
  • Utility system design – fuel gas, air/nitrogen, steam, cooling water, chemical dosing.

Process Simulation & Flow Assurance

  • Steady-state and dynamic simulation using HYSYS, Aspen and CHEMSHARE.
  • Multiphase flow and pipeline simulation using OLGA and PIPESIM.
  • Slug flow analysis and mitigation for subsea and offshore pipelines.
  • Hydrate formation, wax deposition and flow assurance studies.
  • Gas dehydration system design and performance review (glycol and molecular sieve).
  • Flare system analysis and sizing using Flarenet / HYSYS Flare Analyzer.

Offshore & Onshore Facilities Engineering

  • Wellhead and satellite platform process design.
  • FPSO / MOPU / FLNG topsides process engineering.
  • Production separator performance studies using MySep.
  • Gas compression, sweetening and liquefaction systems.
  • Produced water treatment and water injection systems.
  • LPG recovery, NGL extraction and crude stabilisation.
  • Hot oil, cooling water and fired heater design and revamp.

Process Safety & Hazard Studies

  • HAZOP facilitation and participation.
  • HAZID, SIL review and Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA).
  • Safeguarding memoranda and Instrumented Protective Functions (IPF/IPL).
  • Relief and blowdown system assessment and optimisation.
  • Hazardous area classification to IP‑15, NFPA and IEC standards.
  • Process Operating Envelopes (POE) to support digital operations.

Debottlenecking, Troubleshooting & Optimisation

  • Production optimisation through process re‑engineering and simulation.
  • Separator, scrubber and liquid carryover performance diagnostics.
  • Compressor fouling analysis and gas compression system revamps.
  • Produced water and gas dehydration system troubleshooting.
  • ESP sizing and optimisation for offshore well production.
  • Pipeline debottlenecking, including hydrate‑blocked line recovery.

Operating Manuals, Start-Up & Commissioning

  • Operations & Maintenance Manuals for process facilities.
  • Start‑up and shutdown procedures for new and modified plants.
