From reservoir to flare, de-risked.

Hydrocarbon assets fail in expensive and dangerous ways — a line that plugs with hydrate, a scenario nobody identified until it happened, a safety function rated too low, a pipeline quietly thinning below its corrosion allowance. Our studies find those failure modes before they find you.

We work across the asset lifecycle and to the standards regulators and insurers recognise: IEC 61508 / 61511 for functional safety, IEC 61882 for HAZOP, and API and AMPP (formerly NACE) practice for integrity and corrosion. Findings are vendor- and software-neutral.

Aligned with IEC 61508 / 61511 · IEC 61882 (HAZOP) · API 571 / 580 / 581 · AMPP (NACE) · ISO 21457

Flow Assurance Study

Making sure the well-to-export system actually flows — through every operating case.

We model the thermal-hydraulic behaviour of the production system to identify and design out flow-stopping risks: hydrate formation, wax and asphaltene deposition, scaling, slugging, erosion and liquid loading. Steady-state and transient analysis covers start-up, shutdown, turndown and depressurisation, so the system stays operable across its full envelope.

KEY DELIVERABLES

Steady-state & transient flow modelling
Hydrate / wax / asphaltene management strategy
Slugging & terrain-induced surge analysis
Erosion & sand-management review
Chemical-injection & insulation philosophy

HAZID — Hazard Identification

The earliest, broadest sweep for what could go wrong.

A structured, workshop-based study run early in design to surface hazards — process, external, environmental and occupational — while the design is still cheap to change. HAZID delivers a ranked register of hazards and the actions to carry into detailed design.

KEY DELIVERABLES

Facilitated HAZID workshop
Guideword-based hazard register
Risk ranking (severity × likelihood)
Recommended safeguards & actions
Action tracking to close-out

HAZOP & SIL

Systematic process-hazard review, then the right level of protection — proven.

We facilitate IEC 61882 HAZOP studies that examine the design node-by-node and deviation-by-deviation, then carry the findings into SIL determination and verification under IEC 61508 / 61511. Using LOPA, we set the required integrity level for each safety instrumented function and confirm the design meets it — no over-engineering, no dangerous gaps.

KEY DELIVERABLES

Node-by-node HAZOP facilitation
Cause–consequence & safeguard analysis
LOPA-based SIL determination
SIL verification (PFD / RRF calculations)
Safety Requirements Specification (SRS)

Corrosion Management Plan (CMP)

A lifecycle plan to keep assets above their corrosion allowance.

We identify the active damage mechanisms (API 571), build a risk-based inspection strategy (API 580 / 581), and set out the materials, monitoring, chemical-treatment and inspection regime that keeps integrity threats in check — an auditable plan that links corrosion control to inspection planning and remaining-life assessment.

KEY DELIVERABLES

Damage-mechanism review (API 571)
Corrosion risk assessment & RBI (API 580/581)
Materials & corrosion-allowance review
Monitoring & chemical-treatment strategy
Inspection plan & remaining-life input

How we run a study

Define scope & basis — Battery limits, design data and the applicable codes and standards.
Assemble the team — An independent facilitator plus your process, operations and safety specialists.
Execute the study — Modelling or facilitated workshop, fully minuted and documented.
Findings & recommendations — Ranked actions with clear ownership and rationale.
Close-out & verification — Track actions to closure and verify the design meets target.

Why work with us

Genuine specialists — flow assurance, process safety and integrity under one roof.
Independent and vendor-neutral — findings serve the asset, not a product or licence.
Standards-anchored — IEC, API and AMPP throughout, with audit-ready documentation.
In-region delivery — workshops facilitated across the GCC.
