ode has developed a recognised expertise in successfully undertaking brownfield projects, this has encompassed the whole sphere of mature asset development ranging from minor modifications through major upgrades to field tie-back projects. This wealth of expertise has been applied to both offshore and onshore facilities and relates in particular to the following areas:

• Maintenance Modifications
• Hot Change Out
• Facilities Upgrades
• De-bottlenecking
• Production and Safety Enhancements
• Retro-fit of Modules/PAU’s
• De-manning and Automation
• Compression Upgrade/Reconfiguration
• Gas Storage
• Step-out Developments/Field Tie-backs

With an ongoing decline in production it is essential for Operators to maximise the return on investment from their existing assets and infrastructure. In part this can be achieved through a well planned project coupled with a thorough understanding of the constraints and challenges imposed by brownfield activities.

ode’s track record in successful delivery (within budget and schedule) of the whole range of services can be attributed to the quality of personnel with the appropriate experience backed up with systems and processes developed specifically for brownfield activities. Our flexible approach enables us to work within individual client systems and procedures thus removing unnecessary interfaces.

• Project Management

• Workpack Development
• Cost Control/Reporting
