Project Management

The leading UK-based companies in this sector are world-class.

The leading UK-based companies in this sector are world-class in their quality of output and volume, completing major projects around the globe on schedule, to budget and with a high regard for safety and environmental protection.

The challenge of Project Management in the Oil & Gas industry is to complete major projects on schedule and to  budget  achieving the highest standards for safety and environmental protection achievable. British companies are synonymous with these achievements wherever in the world they operate and they achieve this in some of the world's most difficult environments Companies such as AMEC, Foster Wheeler, Costains, Wood Group, KBR, Jacobs, WS Akins, PSN and Whessoe have considerable experience in all types of project management methodology including lump sum turnkey (LSTK); design, finance, build, operate (DFBO); build, own, operate, transfer (BOOT); and alliance contracts, working closely with local, regional and international partners. The UK approach to running an EPC (Engineer, Procure and Commission) project is carefully aligned with local practice and subcontractors. This proves to be a significant advantage over many international competitors. UK firms also have an excellent record on safety, and encourage knowledge transfer when working in developing markets. UK-based contractors are playing a significant part in pushing back the frontiers of oil and gas developments, on both land and sea. Company capabilities range from front-end engineering studies through to management of installation and commissioning of major facilities. Full asset lifecycle support is provided, from preliminary technical and financial studies, project management, through detailed design, EPC, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning.

Much of the UK’s project management expertise is to be found in small and medium sized companies as well as in the giants of the industry. The UK has developed into a major centre for the provision of specialised offshore engineering consultancy and design services with many smaller companies operating on a global basis for the major contractors and/or oil companies. Some, such as MCS, or 2H Offshore, are involved in the design of subsea pipelines, dynamic risers and cables, and others, such as BMT, provide specialist marine consultancy services.
