For the oil and gas upstream industry, UNEPP engineering is a specialized engineering company that addresses challenging, high-risk offshore structural engineering issues. From the SELECT, DEFINE, EXECUTE, TO DECOMMISSIONING STAGES of Upstream Oil & Gas Projects, UNEPP offers structural engineering services.
We provide thorough consulting services for marine structure concept creation, design, verification, in-service, and decommissioning. This covers the in-depth design analysis and structure design for all scenarios. We work directly with our clients by comprehending their unique issues and requirements. Our clients frequently reappoint us as long-term partners for the timely and safe completion of urgent projects.
Our teams design new structures and analyses and redesign existing ones to establish maximum load capacities, extend and optimize design life, and incorporate modifications. We also draw up installation/removal studies and provide engineering support. We can review third-party designs and studies, and either focus our efforts on specific aspects (such as hazard mitigation or performance standards analysis), or else manage the entire project from preliminary study through to final completion. In the current economic climate there are plenty of opportunities to develop small fields, provided they can be exploited economically, ideally by using an existing platform. But many offshore structures have exceeded their original design lives, and some are thought to have reached their topside load limits. By applying cutting-edge structural analysis techniques, UNEPP devises development concepts that maximize value, for example by showing that many of these structures can continue to perform safely during their extended design life, even during sustained periods of maximum topside loading.
Procurement support
With extensive experience in engineering solutions for the oil and gas industry, Unepp provides highly qualified cost estimation. Our cost estimates are applicable throughout the project life cycle from early conceptual and feasibility studies to final design solutions.Brown Field Modification
Successful execution of Brownfield modification projects is inherently complex due to the integration challenges with existing facilities and systems. Brownfield modification focus areas include:- Confirming capacity of existing systems.
- Detailed constructability reviews to establish physical and logistical constraints and drive design towards build simplicity.
- Identify and minimize requirement for partial / full production shutdowns through design.
- Establish asset late life issues which may place additional constraints and / or scope on the project (i.e. turndown, integrity, regulatory change)
Offshore Structural Integrity
Our structural integrity management services cover a wide range of analyses that help clients safeguard their offshore and onshore asset throughout its entire lifetime. As a structure approaches the end of its design life, our structural integrity solutions, data combined with advanced fatigue analyses has the potential to generate significant cost savings as it establishes whether it is necessary to initiate structural reinforcement work. Our structural integrity management concept consists in combining a scientific approach with practical solutions to ensure:
- Reduced risks
- Increased safety
- Increase reliability
- Improved environmental performances
