io delivers much needed certainty into identifying opportunities and planning the latter stages of assets life cycles.

managing late life opportunities requires in-depth knowledge of the asset condition

With mature oil & gas producing provinces around the world having on and offshore assets approaching or exceeding their original design life, effective late life management is critical to their continued safe and profitable operation. 

Understanding asset late life opportunities and the associated operational risks, requires in-depth knowledge of the condition of existing systems and how functional requirements change over time related to the assets integrity, reliability, and availability. Awareness of these fundamental operational aspects determines what changes are feasible based on current operational criteria and what alternative operating modes may be achievable based on the condition of the assets and changing business drivers.

Bespoke brownfield modifications are typically required throughout the asset lifecycle but during late life operation when OPEX is high and revenue is typically low, then drawing on the expertise of our specialist late life experts, we support our clients in understanding the critical requirements associated with late life operation and help develop bespoke brownfield solutions to maximise the potential of their maturing assets before planning for asset retirement.
