Oil and Gas
Despite the energy transition’s rapid growth in renewable energy, global demand for oil and gas has not yet peaked. Oil and gas operations are inherently hazardous and often involve high-pressure and high-temperature services, while operators continue to extend the working life of ageing assets, increasing equipment susceptibility to material degradation and mechanical failures.
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.
