ASSET PERFORMANCE & OPERATIONS

Improve performance.
Protect asset life.

Improve the performance of existing facilities through brownfield studies, turnaround planning, integrity and reliability programmes, and practical use of operational data. We connect engineering judgement with the work needed on site.

Asset performance & operations

More from the assets you already operate.

For owners and operators of mature oil, gas and industrial facilities, and the teams responsible for maintenance, reliability, integrity and turnarounds.

Our services combine engineering and advisory work with implementation support and specialist technology where it adds value. Each engagement has an agreed scope, delivery team, responsibilities and outputs.

01 / Asset performance & operations

Performance from existing assets

Identify the constraints, agree the priorities and turn operational evidence into a practical improvement programme.

Brownfield optimisation programmes

Assess production bottlenecks, operating costs and energy intensity, then develop targeted engineering and operating improvements with clear priorities, execution needs and measures of performance.

  • Debottlenecking and throughput studies
  • Energy-intensity and operating-cost reviews
  • Engineering and operational improvement plans
  • Performance baselines and KPI tracking

Reliability & maintenance optimisation

Review how maintenance is selected, planned and prioritised so that effort focuses on equipment critical to production, safety and long-term operating performance.

  • Reliability and maintenance strategy reviews
  • Critical equipment and intervention priorities
  • Maintenance planning and performance measures
  • Improvement programmes and execution support
02 / Asset performance & operations

Turnarounds with clear control

Connect the scope, work packs, resources and schedule before an outage, with disciplined support through execution.

TAR excellence & execution support

Plan and assure turnarounds and shutdowns from early scope development through readiness and execution, with integrated schedules, resource plans and controls that reflect site constraints.

  • Scope definition and work-pack planning
  • Integrated schedules, resources and budgets
  • Readiness reviews and execution assurance
  • Materials, isolations and contractor interfaces

AI-assisted turnaround optimisation

Use schedule and operational data to compare outage scenarios, highlight potential delays and resource conflicts, and assess recovery options alongside the turnaround team’s practical judgement.

  • Sequence and resource scenario modelling
  • Delay and discovery-work risk analysis
  • Schedule recovery and bottleneck reviews
  • Work-order, materials and CMMS integration
03 / Asset performance & operations

Integrity, life extension & process safety

Keep asset condition, inspection priorities and process risks visible when deciding what work comes next.

Asset integrity & risk-based inspection

Review inspection evidence and ageing-equipment risks to prioritise integrity work, strengthen mechanical-integrity programmes and inform maintenance and asset-life-extension decisions.

  • Integrity audits and condition-data reviews
  • Risk-based inspection (RBI) priorities
  • Inspection intervals and intervention planning
  • Asset-life-extension and compliance evidence

Process safety review support

Support process-safety refreshes with suitably experienced specialists, connecting hazard studies and protection-layer reviews to clear actions, accountable owners and the operating context.

  • HAZOP review support
  • Layer of protection analysis (LOPA) support
  • Process-safety action reviews
  • Risk priorities and close-out tracking
04 / Asset performance & operations

Operational data that supports action

Connect plant information with the people making maintenance and operating decisions, using specialist platforms where they add value.

AI-based predictive maintenance & reliability

Integrate sensor, historian and inspection data with suitable analytics to identify degradation, assess equipment health and support earlier maintenance decisions across the assets that matter most.

  • Condition monitoring and equipment-health models
  • Failure, degradation and corrosion analytics
  • APM and maintenance-workflow integration
  • Pilot evaluation and measured rollout

Asset digital twins & process modelling

Bring equipment records, plant models and operating data together so teams can explore performance, test changes and prepare maintenance or turnaround activities before work starts.

  • Virtual plant and asset-data models
  • Process and maintenance what-if studies
  • Digital work packs and linked documents
  • Planning, integrity and operating-data integration

AR, remote support & technical knowledge transfer

Introduce appropriate visualisation and remote-support tools to give field teams clearer asset information, guided instructions and access to specialist expertise during inspections, maintenance and planning.

  • AR-assisted walk-downs and asset visualisation
  • Digital work instructions and field information
  • Remote expert support
  • Technical training and knowledge transfer
WHAT THE WORK PRODUCES

Practical outputs.
Clear next decisions.

The exact deliverables depend on the assignment. These examples show what a focused engagement can provide.

01

A prioritised improvement programme

An evidence-based view of bottlenecks, costs and reliability priorities, with recommended actions, measures and implementation dependencies.

02

A turnaround readiness package

Defined scope, schedules, resource requirements, risks and assurance actions, ready for the client team to review and use.

03

An integrity and maintenance plan

Inspection and intervention priorities that connect asset condition, operating risk and maintenance decisions.

04

A practical digital or AI pilot

An agreed use case, data assessment, configured specialist solution and evaluation of the next implementation step.

A USEFUL STARTING POINT

Start with a defined assignment.

A focused review, pilot or delivery package can establish what needs to happen next.

Illustration of an engineer inspecting a valve and its operating condition.

Review an operating constraint

Start with a production, energy, reliability or maintenance issue and the available site evidence.

Illustration of a planner reviewing a turnaround schedule and readiness documents.

Check turnaround readiness

Bring an upcoming outage scope and schedule for an independent review of readiness, interfaces and delivery risks.

Test one predictive use case

Select a critical asset or system, assess its data and agree how the pilot’s value will be evaluated.

YOUR FIRST CONVERSATION

Bring the challenge
as it stands.

A short introduction is enough. We can identify the information and specialist input the next step needs.

  1. Which facility, system or asset needs attention?
  2. What is the effect on production, reliability, energy use or operating risk?
  3. Is there a turnaround, inspection or investment decision approaching?
  4. What schedules, inspection records, maintenance history or operating data are available?
  5. Who will own the recommendations and the work that follows?
LET’S START WITH YOUR CHALLENGE
