Key areas of support

Apollo has significant experience and knowledge in this area allowing our clients confidence in proving their assets existing integrity along with proven solutions to extend asset life and exploit infield and further production opportunities. Apollo’s proven track record in this area includes fixed installations, FPSOs as well as subsea fields and pipelines.

  • Post design life asset transformation

    Our teams work in conjunction with our clients to help define life extension strategies to not only maximise economic recovery but also reduce subsequent decommissioning costs and have an active approach to CoP to ensure an efficient decommissioning process.

    Apollo enable our clients to re-engineer their assets beyond their original design life as part of their facilities investment programs. Our experienced teams are able to evaluate assets against their estimated future production profiles and opportunities and advise system upgrades, modifications, produce technical notes to extend asset life. Apollo have a significant track record in this area and allow our clients a systematic approach to fully understand life extension opportunities that satisfy

    • performance efficiency (including digitalisation opportunities)
    • legislation requirements
    • increase uptime and
    • tackle reliability and obsolescence
  • Integrity

    Our structural and mechanical teams allow our clients both a global and a local perspective on their asset’s integrity. From input and understanding of integrity databases through to analysis (including jacket or more local finite element analysis). Apollo are able to advise on integrity issues for our clients. Uniquely we are able to link our service with our integrity management solutions Apollo KnowHow™ providing our clients with a holistic approach to asset integrity.

  • Strategy definition

    Our teams work in conjunction with our clients to help define life extension strategies to not only maximise economic recovery but also reduce subsequent decommissioning costs and have an active approach to CoP to ensure an efficient decommissioning process.

  • Digitalisation

    We enable upgrade scopes with our clients to allow offshore digitalisation of systems

    • Efficiency & synergies
    • Reliability & obsolescence
