Our capabilities cover all aspects of upstream facilities and
process engineering
Mott MacDonald works with all aspects of process
engineering and upstream facilities plant design. We have expertise
in both ‘brown’ and ‘green’ field plant design, onshore and
offshore. Mott MacDonald's ability to identify cost-effective
solutions is greatly enhanced by our long-term relationships with
our clients and our intimate knowledge of local infrastructures.
This not only allows us to identify the most attractive solution
but also to develop tie-in strategies to facilitate the execution
of brown field works.
Our multi-disciplinary teams have undertaken green field
developments from the pre-investment and original concept phases
straight through to detailed engineering. The early phases have
often been undertaken directly with operating companies or
developers. The latter phases have been conducted in various modes,
for instance, directly for operating companies or for larger
projects won against internationally tendered opposition. As a part
of such green field developments, we also consider fundamental
infrastructure issues such as power and water supply plus road,
rail and vessel access.
Our experience includes GOSP, natural gas processing and
compression, gas/condensate production, sour gas and crude, waxy
oils, LNG and LPG ‘off sites’ and heavy oil field developments. Our
work related to upstream oil and gas processing includes:
- Multi-phase product separation
- Gas sweetening
- H2S removal and de-sulphurisation
- Product heating or cooling
- Water and gas injection
- Metering and product quality management and measurement
- Power systems
- Control and instrumentation systems
- Piping systems (buried, channelled and racked/overhead)
- Cathodic protection systems
- Buildings including control rooms, workshops, offices, on-site
laboratories, storage
- HVAC systems
- Storage and tank farms
- Utilities infrastructure eg. N2, instrument and compressed
air
- Chemical injection and dosing facilities
