MSE has developed concept designs for a wide variety of oil and gas projects; many of these projects are in successful operation. MSE has been retained by the clients beyond the concept design stage in auditing the actual FEED design and vendor selections and bid evaluations; the range of applications includes the following:

	Concept Design of Motor Driven Gas Lift Compressors for Offshore Platform
	Concept Design of new Gas Reception facility and Export compressors
	Concept Design study of Flash Gas and Gas Injection Compressors for gas condensate fields
	Concept Design of LNG Compressors for Linde and Axens Process Designs
	Audit of gas storage facility Concept Design performed by others
	Concept Design of gas gathering and well-head compression system for an on-shore field
	Concept Design study for Gas Depletion Projects
	Concept Design of large LNG compressors driven by Frame 6, Frame 7 and Frame 9 gas turbines
	Concept Study for piston vs. centrifugal compressors for well-head compression

In addition to the above applications MSE is deeply involved in the concept design of brown field projects which are based on developing new designs for a variety of applications such as:

	Enabling lower reservoir pressures
	Post Plateau production
	Integrating new oil and gas fields using existing equipment and facilities.

Concept Designs for existing projects are far more difficult. They require a far greater involvement in understanding the current equipment design and their limitations before any new design can be developed. The new concept designs need to be rigorously tested using GASMAN before they can be considered for implementation.

Such an analysis is critically important as it can identify concept designs and applications, which may not work at all, thus saving valuable money and time.
Only when the new concepts are proven after rigorous simulations are these put forward for further considerations.

Compressor re-wheeling is a very cost effective way of improving production since existing compressor casings and gas turbine drivers and the process equipment are retained. Only compressor internals are swapped in a short period of shut down.
