Oil & Gas

The Oil & Gas industry is involved in the exploration, production, transportation, refining & retailing of petroleum products. The complete chain taken together also forms the worlds largest industry in terms of value. 

The Oil & Gas industry also forms the main-stay for meeting the energy requirements across the world and is critical supplier of raw material for several chemical industries. 

Large projects are undertaken world wide every year in each segment of the Oil & Gas industry - exploration, extraction, transportation, refining & marketing. 

For undertaking the above activities, investments are made in creating infrastructure to convert the precious crude oil into useful products that we consume. 

The infrastructure includes creating oil platforms capable of working in deep oceans, natural gas liquefaction facilities, cryogenic tankers to transport the fuel, ports and jetties to handle the tankers, refineries and process plants to convert the inputs into the useful outputs till the finished products are dispatched to end customer. 

The capacity building in each of the above steps in the energy value chain is a project in itself that is usually executed on Engineering Procurement & Construction (EPC) Basis - involving Consulting Engineers, Contractors & various equipment manufacturers / suppliers.

For the creation of say a modern refinery - various packages are created and given out to the respective successful bidders including Desalter, vacuum distilation unit, hydrotreater, Catalytic reformer, Hydro-cracker, coking units, alkylation units, stream reforming, water systems, etc.

Once the project has been decided to be executed, the owner sets the objective of the project. Owner also hires specialized consultancy firms – Project Management Consultants(PMC) – who, in alignment with the objectives of the owner, perform the basic engineering of the asset including design, subcontracting, vendor management & project management activities. They may divide the overall project into packages, evaluates the bid received and recommends owner to award the package to the successful bidder, reviews the engineering documents created by the successful bidder and oversees the execution of the project till the asset handover and contract closure.
