Intertek CAPCIS helps clients achieve robust and cost-effective designs for E&P projects. CAPCIS expertise is sought throughout all phases of the engineering and procurement process in the development of oil and gas projects. Consulting and evaluation expertise includes many key areas of E&P project design, including:
E&P Project Design Audits:
CAPCIS undertakes Design Auditing prior to project sanction. CAPCIS provides independent verification of all aspects from the Design Basis, interpretation of Production Chemistry, Material Selection philosophies, design and operational Mitigation Strategies, Corrosion Risk Assessments, CP design and Construction and Commissioning.
E&P Project Life Cycle Trade-Offs:
For Well Construction and Pipeline Designs, CAPCIS helps integrate the evaluation of alternative materials with the development of Mitigation Strategies and Operational Philosophies, improving the management of Residual Risk factors. Risk mitigation strategies vary from ‘designing-out’ through the use of expensive exotic materials to management of inherent risk through robust inhibition, integrity and monitoring strategies.
E&P Inhibitors Selection and Performance:
Usage of carbon steel plus inhibition in stringent conditions demands increasingly rigorous approaches to chemical selection, deployment and performance optimisation in the field. CAPCIS has developed an unrivalled reputation in the provision of laboratory testing, consultancy services and field trials in this key technical field.
E&P Materials Qualification:
Material qualification trends are driven by the development of new oil and gas reservoirs in harsher physical and operating environments. The growing costs of intervention and replacement are affected by the lack of operating history for new materials such as flexible risers under severe operating conditions. CAPCIS’s unique sour laboratories, HP/HT Autoclave and Fatigue Testing provide Operators and Contractors an independent service to qualify materials against increasingly challenging contractual specifications.
