Oil and Gas

Equipment failures can result in safety incidents, environmental releases, and regulatory noncompliance.

Corrosion, erosion, cracking, fatigue, and creep are common degradation mechanisms affecting upstream and post-production oil and gas equipment due to harsh internal and external environments. The presence of contaminants such as water and solid particles can lead to equipment damage, reduced efficiency, and production loss. Failures in electrical control systems and instrumentation, in addition to human factors, can lead to improper control of processes, equipment malfunctions, and unsafe operating conditions.

Our mechanical, chemical and materials experts can investigate, advise, and assist at any stage of an incident, including pre-loss prevention and risk assessment, root cause analysis, post-failure remediation advice and expert witness services.
