High Level Project Management and Consultancy

For large scale projects, MSE offers Project Management Services to provide technical support following the completion of the Concept Study. This work includes the selection of FEED contractor and preparation of ITT and bid evaluation of tenders.
MSE Consultants' detailed involvement with Concept Design Study of the Compression System and their knowledge of the equipment vendors, offers a number of benefits to clients for retaining our services for the follow on work. These include:

Safeguarding client interests when dealing with the vendors or FEED contractor

Providing project continuity

Offering high calibre technical support for the project duration

Ensuring the Concept Design intent is properly understood by the vendors

Ensuring that the project is fast tracked: preventing delays due to lack of manpower

Performing independent technical audits during the FEED stages

MSE also performs independent Design Audit of FEED Projects where the Concept Design was performed by Third Parties. MSE brings added value by verifying the Concept Design at early stages of the FEED study. Here, MSE provides timely advice on compressor and driver selection before the equipment is purchased. In such situations we offer advice on risk associated with the proposed design and methods to reduce the risks.

Dynamic Simulation During FEED & EPC Design

MSE has performed dynamic simulations of oil and gas production facilities during FEED and EPC stages. Using a bespoke model of the production system, MSE analyses the system not just for normal operation at steady state conditions but for a range of conditions such as start-up, off-design conditions and during process upsets. This analysis determines the performance, control and operability of the production facility.

Hot Gas Bypass

The FEED contractor usually wants to know if a " Hot gas by-pass" is indeed required. This decision needs to be made during the FEED stage where it is quite easy to do without impacting on the detailed design and procurement. Changing or installing a hot gas bypass during the EPC stage would be very costly as the entire layout and design would have to be changed and would impact on the project schedule.
