Oil and gas

EPCM contract for a major new gas compression plantMott MacDonald offers a huge wealth of experience in developing oil and gas projects dating back to our work in the 1960s on many of the UK’s refineries for Shell, Esso and BP. In the 70s we expanded into the North Sea designing production facilities, pipelines and storage and export terminals – while setting up a network of design offices to serve major Middle East oil producers.

Design and construction management of a oil/products storage farmWe continue expanding and adapting our skills and services to satisfy market demands. Today we can take care of every aspect from project management and facilitation services, techno-economic studies, upgrades and optimisation plans to system design, hazard and risk analysis and site supervision. Reinforcing this vast technical base is our leading expertise in strategic, environmental and safety issues – plus a much sought-after capability of devising innovative solutions for the most complex challenges. Through close teamwork we build long-term relationships with our clients, assuring them of our total commitment and determination to bring every assignment to a successful conclusion.

For offshore facilities our expertise ranges from compiling a definitive database on pipeline loss of containment incidents for UKOOA, the Institute of Petroleum and the HSE to comparative risk assessment of failures and impact of fires and explosions on platform structures. We’re also renowned for our work in applying computer-based techniques and reliability methods to the lifetime assessment of offshore structures and pipelines.

Power station upgrade project for a new gas compression houseSafety, risk, environmental, sustainability and public accountability are of high and increasing significance. Our experience in all of these areas is applied to all projects where required with processes such as EIAs, EISs, HAZOPs, HAZIDs, socio-economic studies and QRA.

So whatever our customers’ needs and wherever they or their operations are based, we have all the skills, resources and enthusiasm needed to help with every stage in planning, developing and maintaining onshore and offshore facilities for oil, gas, LNG and associated products.
