Consultants Oil and Gas

Hint maintains an extensive network of freelancing consultants originating from the Oil and Gas industry to work on feasibility studies and for consulting in the early phases of a project. Areas of our expertise include:

Operational Improvement Studies
Operational design studies address the efficiency of processes and/or logistic operations. Result is an estimate of potential economic / quality improvement and/or User Requirement Specifications (URS) and Functional Design Specifications (FDS) as basis for automation concepts. A good conceptual design is essential for automating complex situations, e.g. the interface between manufacturing and the market, in product loading, product tracking and tracing and access control.

Economic Feasibility Studies
Economic feasibility studies to determine the anticipated payout of a project.

Architectural Design Studies
Architectural design studies determine the best architecture for meeting aspects such as safety, reliability, (cyber) security and maintainability.

Vendor Qualification, Bid Specification and Proposal Evaluation
RFQ documents specifying your requirements and fair vendor selection procedures are fundamental for a successful automation project.

Metering Design Studies
Hint can help customers in Oil & Gas production to optimise metering accuracy, reducing costs of materials, and making engineering and maintenance activities more efficient. Hint uses intelligent IT tools in support of such studies.

Safety Audits
Safety audits focus specifically on the validation of Instrumented Protective Systems (IPS), Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and Fire & Gas (F&G), complementing the safety related work of the users, vendors and contractors. For audits in the operational phase Hint has developed intelligent tools that permit the validation of the safety situation by comparing the actual state with the original design and SIL levels defined at the outset.

Standardisation
Variety control by standardisation of instrumentation, control, final elements, process connections, wiring, testing procedures has a definite impact on profitability. Hint provides Oil and Gas consultants and tools to streamline your situation and to facilitate multi disciplinary standardisation discussions and the follow-up in your organisation.
