Midstream: transportation and storage

What we do

We integrate transport, storage and delivery infrastructure to connect production with industrial and commercial destinations.

Infrastructure for continuity of supply

Pipelines, stations and terminals operate as a network of interdependent assets. Their development requires product characteristics, transport profiles and receipt and dispatch conditions to be considered together.

Route alignment, land access and third-party interfaces influence the technical solution and its execution. Coordinated planning helps identify constraints and connect the design with inspection, control and maintenance requirements.

Connecting every part of the system

The technical scope is defined by the product transported, the location and the operating conditions.

Pipelines and stations

The assessment considers transport system behaviour alongside the location and function of stations. Studies support the definition of equipment, utilities and control conditions.

  • Route assessment and alignment interfaces
  • Pumping and compression systems
  • Piping, instrumentation and utilities
Technical capabilities

Transport and terminal engineering

The assessment connects the corridor, hydraulic behaviour and delivery interfaces with facilities that can be operated, inspected and maintained.

Route alignment and corridor conditions

Route comparison considers topography, geotechnical conditions, crossings, access and site constraints. Identifying these conditions helps organise studies and define project interfaces.

  • Route options and critical locations
  • Access for construction and inspection

System behaviour

Transport scenarios relate fluid properties, demand and station configuration. Hydraulic assessment helps identify constraints and requirements for pumping, compression and control.

  • Receipt and delivery conditions
  • Interaction between pipelines and stations

Terminals and storage

The design integrates tanks, transfer, metering and auxiliary systems with the operating sequence. Capacities are assessed alongside inlet and dispatch points and utility availability.

  • Receipt, storage and dispatch interfaces
  • Facility access and maintainability

Control and integrity

Instrumentation and supervisory systems must provide useful information on the state of the network. Integrity management links inspection and condition records to maintenance priorities.

  • Signals, monitoring and data traceability
  • Inspection and intervention coordination
Our approach

Developing a coherent network

  1. Assess the system

    Define products, delivery points and demand scenarios. Review capacity constraints and corridor or site conditions.

  2. Integrate the project

    Coordinate pipelines, stations, terminals and utilities within a common design basis. Organise packages and interface responsibilities.

  3. Prepare for operation

    Align documentation and testing with the sequence for bringing systems into service. Incorporate control, inspection and maintenance requirements.

Information to develop the scope

Technical definition of the system

Studies and engineering may develop design bases, hydraulic scenarios, route drawings, equipment specifications and control criteria. Interface documentation records delivery points, responsibilities and data awaiting confirmation from connected facilities.

Expansion assessment

A new station or an increase in demand requires a review of the behaviour of the entire affected network. Capacity, condition and utility availability are assessed alongside tie-ins and activities for bringing systems into service. The solution is defined against verified constraints and agreed acceptance criteria.
