Capability Statement CAPABILITY STATEMENT I INTRODUCTION Who we are… KW was founded in 1999 as a niche high-technology consultant • Subsea systems solving problems associated with subsea pipelines. Over the • Pipelines and flowlines • Subsea structures years we have grown our capability and services across the broader subsea sector providing design engineering at all phases Flow assurance of projects, whilst also enhancing our reputation as a leading Architecture layout consultant. Execution and installation schedules Project cost estimates We often engage in projects that are situated in extreme environmental Upheaval buckling and OOS areas, in deep waters, challenging seabed terrains and soils as well as high Lateral buckling and pipeline walking pressure, high temperature reservoirs and corrosive fluids. We strive to Pipe-in-pipe challenge and extend the traditional design approaches, enabling marginal Manifolds, RBS, SSIV, PLET and FLET projects, but always with safety as a priority and through solutions that are Controls and umbilicals designed for installation and construction economically. Geotechnical engineering, soils and foundations Trenching and burial In 2012 KW became part of the Petrofac Group – one of the major Installation engineering oil services companies in the world. We continue to operate as an Survey and routeing independent company with the vision of being ‘the engineer of choice for Riser design and reassessment global subsea developments’. Component qualifications Advanced engineering: FE analysis We can also integrate our services with the larger engineering resource Carbon capture and gas storage and skills base of Petrofac to jointly undertake larger and more complex oil and gas developments which involve other offshore facilities such as Covering… jackets, topsides, FPSO’s as well as onshore plants. We believe that this is • Conceptual design a unique offering that also draws upon the wider Petrofac experience and • FEED feedback from EPC projects undertaken in the field. • Detailed design • Project execution • Pipeline integrity management An impressive track record serving oil and gas majors and independents t: +44 (0)1483 738 500 e: [email protected] Part of the Petrofac Group www.kwltd.com 2 Rev.13 / 02.13 CAPABILITY STATEMENT I INTRODUCTION What we do… Design Capability and Consulting Services Engineering Personnel KW’s Greenfield Design services range from conventional Our strength comes from a very experienced and long subsea architecture associated with North Sea Tie-Backs to serving staff based resource pool, who manage, consult Deep Water SURF projects and standalone large diameter and transfer experience from project to project and also long distance export lines. Our services start from the early participate in training and developing our younger graduate engineering select phase through to concept, pre-FEED, engineers. A significant number of our engineering workforce FEED, Detailed Design, and Execution Phase. Consulting have PhDs in specialist areas a such as fluids, structures and forms an important part of our day to day problem solving soils, including specialisation in FE modelling. service to our clients, often on a 24/7 basis supporting offshore operations or helping them resolve critical design, Track Record installation or failure problems helping to re-mobilise We have an extensive track record with Oil and Gas majors, construction or re-start production. NOC’s, mid-size and smaller independents as well as all of the major installation contractors, survey contractors, rock Providing design engineering and burial contractors and subsea equipment suppliers. Our and consulting services at all projects are global, from the North Sea, North Africa and the Mediterranean to the Middle East, Asia, West Africa, Canada, phases of projects US GoM and Mexico. t: +44 (0)1483 738 500 e: [email protected] Part of the Petrofac Group www.kwltd.com 3 Rev.13 / 02.13 CAPABILITY STATEMENT I INTRODUCTION Contents 1 Corporate Information This document represents an Key Personnel overview of the capabilities, Quality Management System (QMS) services and track record of KW Ltd.
