Our cost-effective, high-quality services help us consistently meet exacting standards in the volatile oil and gas industry.
With decades of in-depth expertise and offices strategically located to support each significant offshore region, we help offshore oil and gas companies and major contractors solve the engineering and environmental challenges of operating in oceans around the world.
We combine expert technical ability with in-field experience to offer practical, well-grounded advice that reduces operational costs due to weather downtime whilst maintaining safe and efficient drilling operations.
We understand the level of risk at each stage of oil and gas development. We work with you to deliver the highest levels of safety and quality by mitigating risks to personnel, the environment and assets whilst reducing project costs.
Our real-time remote monitoring helps maximise operational efficiency during drilling, whilst integrated topside and subsea sensors give operators a seamless view of the performance of drilling units to keep them within operating design limits. What’s more, our combined systems and services provide warning systems and predict weather risks, giving critical response teams enough time to act.
We understand how offshore oil and gas structures respond to environmental conditions, so our engineers can develop solutions that exceed your expectations for the life of the field.
Our systems are used on a wide range of floating offshore oil and gas facilities, including floating production storage and offloading vessels, part-submerged, tension leg platforms and spars, as well as subsea risers (steel catenary and free-standing).
We help you identify safe operational windows for construction and installation. Our advice helps maintain installation schedules and ensure safety during transit and installation.
From training pilots through the simulation of complex tow-outs to understanding the metocean environment, our role is to give you an accurate, site-specific view on which to base your operations.
Driven by robust remote data acquisition systems that integrate seamlessly into our powerful cloud-based data analysis platform, we work closely with you to deliver unmatched support and advisory service when you need it the most.
BMT-DEEP provides an efficient virtual environment for managing field data over the asset’s lifetime, supporting you with a whole new class of algorithms to solve previously unsolved problems.
We provide holistic monitoring systems that generate structural and met-ocean data to provide vital information for validating the integrity and behaviour of your offshore assets.
Optimising how vessels perform, training crew, and ensuring safety measures are in place is critical to operational safety and performance within operating budgets.
We regularly service sensors to provide health checks on asset integrity and ensure that long-term quality data is archived for marine assurance managers to assess your asset’s design life periodically.
We provide the service, maintenance, consulting, and training support to maintain these monitoring systems, ensure they function optimally in harsh marine environments, reduce potential operational downtime, and assure personnel safety in offshore work.
Our hurricane advisory support is a result of 30+ years of working alongside deep-water oil and gas operations, understanding the needs and concerns of asset operators, and leveraging our strong capabilities in instrumentation and data science to develop and deliver technological solutions to their complex challenges.
Our remote asset integrity monitoring and data analysis solutions help operators prepare for, respond to, and learn from hurricanes and extreme weather events that impact near-shore and deep-water assets in the Gulf of Mexico.
The offshore oil and gas industry faces ever increasing regulatory scrutiny with environmental issues at the top of the agenda, particularly at decommissioning
We provide a comprehensive range of services in support of monitoring the environment, understanding environmental impacts and satisfying regulatory obligations.
Sector-specific management plans include:
Metocean operability and downtime assessments set safe operational working limits for weather and sea state. In addition, the data generated from our monitoring systems provide vital information for validating the integrity and behaviour of offshore resources.
Since 1973 we have been engaged in industry-leading research developing innovative tools and insights that support design, construction and operations, in-service assessment, root-cause investigations, and repair solutions.
The results of our efforts are often used to develop and advance industry standards, codes and regulations and safety practices.
The ability to accurately monitor the performance and impact of abandoned or deteriorating assets is essential during their decommissioning.
Our analysis and guidance at the design stage can help you achieve the best possible performance from your assets.
Our integrity management services help to determine whether assets are operating as designed, reducing potential downtime and minimizing risk.
We study the risks associated with marine facilities and use our findings to advise on the best ways to mitigate for any potential consequences.
We lead welding engineering with a complete range of procedure development, material selection, simulation, testing, and forensic services and provide troubleshooting, production, and code compliance solutions.
As we enter the third decade of the 21st Century, we are being assailed on all fronts by transformational changes in technology, business models, autonomous systems, new manufacturing technologies all resulting from the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
There is increasing recognition by mining executives that extreme weather events and other impacts of a changing climate are becoming central to the corporate risk profile of their industry.
With the recent impacts of severe weather events across North and South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales still fresh in our minds, the east coast of Australia has regularly felt the impacts of the La Niña season.
What does it mean for an offshore asset to be "Hurricane Ready"? What should asset managers consider when inspecting monitoring systems ahead of a hurricane season?
To ensure that the platform's integrity is maintained during a hurricane, measuring the mooring systems and GPS data can provide remote operators confidence that the platform is upright and on location.
Preparing offshore and nearshore energy projects for tropical storms.
How do operators of offshore assets become resilient and prevent increasingly damaging extreme weather events?
Collecting and validating measurement data is critical to post-hurricane season analysis but also crucial in identifying long-term trends and measuring asset performance against design guidelines to detect any fatigue.
Data collection technology and cloud computing advances will continue to build more robust models that help extend the lifespan of assets and shape design improvements.
By implementing Secure-by-Design principles and continuous assurance from the defence sector, two of our cyber security experts proactively address the unique cyber challenges faced in offshore wind, in a cost-effective manner, enhancing energy security and managing growing cyber risks.
