Our Work
In the oil and gas sector, Atkins provides clients with the following areas of expertise:
Facilities engineering
We provide a full range of services to facilitate the design of green and brownfield sites, from the concept selection and front-end engineering design (FEED) stage, right through to the audit and due diligence phase.
Structural engineering
Our involvement in structural design and analysis dates back to the mid-1970s and we have been at the forefront of this sector ever since. The industry demands a need to keep installations in place longer and as a result there are stringent requirements for all assets to operate safely. Our expertise includes fixed and floating structures both onshore and offshore.
Pipeline and subsea engineering
Trading as Atkins Boreas, we provide world class skills in pipeline and subsea engineering, with particular emphasis on challenging deepwater and high pressure high temperature (HPHT) facilities. Our services encompass the full life cycle of subsea facilities from early engineering, through project support to operations.
Process simulation
By use of process simulation services Atkins delivers benefits to major new development projects, through design validation, the development of operating procedures and staff training, as well as on existing plants when used for troubleshooting support and upgrade studies
Reliability, availability and maintainability
We have a wide range of experience in the application of both traditional and advanced modelling techniques in reliability, availability and maintainability analysis.
Safety and environmental protection
Atkins is an industry leader in the provision of process safety services for offshore and onshore facilities at various stages of plant life.
Fluid mechanics
The increasing maturity of advanced numerical fluid analysis techniques means they can be used with increasing utility in solving some of the industry’s more challenging problems. Atkins has extensive experience in applying these techniques, particularly consequence analysis, fluid loading and platform response and process system analysis.
