Energy

The oil and gas industry are inundated by the ever-expanding demand for global energy. To meet the constant demand, operational efficiency improvements are necessary to reduce the time to scale to meet market requirements. Indval Technologies provides a host of flexible engineering and design solutions that help our clients consistently meet their business objectives. Our experts deliver high-quality infrastructure designs that meet your budget and timeline requirements.

The energy industry (including oil and gas) is both engineering-intensive and labor-intensive in nature, making cost reduction a part of the business mandate. Since the last few years, oil and gas companies have endured tumultuous times. While upstream energy companies are coping up with the increasing commodity prices and competition for oil reserves, downstream energy firms are finding it difficult to contend with declining margins and refining capacity problems. Decline in production, increasing exploration costs and demand-supply volatility have only added to the troubles. Energy companies are looking to decrease costs across the board, in a move to consolidate company-wide spending.

With a robust team of skilled and dedicated experts, we provide process and product engineering solutions that add immediate value to your business. We have extensive experience in providing drilling support, plant layout design, structural engineering, and piping engineering

Our highly trained team of experts in the Europe, USA& middle east has thousand hours of experience in providing consulting and advisory services to the Oil & Gas Majors and their Supply Chain partners. From the R&D phase of a product or components design, through prototyping phases and on to production and service, we provide a full spectrum of services to suit your business. 

Element’s finite element analysis services support product development, simulation of service loading conditions, design optimization, life prediction, fitness for service, and failure analysis. By using sophisticated modeling software to predict product behavior, we help you save the time and material required for traditional testing and increase your confidence in test compliance.

Project Development:

• Process simulation, PFD, and HMB development (HYSIS and other software packages)
• Qualitative and quantitative option assessment for screening and feasibility
• Preparation of Front-End Loading (FEL) packages; Cost and schedule development

Process Engineering:

• Process Evaluation, Development
• P&ID and Design Basis Development
• Relief studies (PSV sizing scenarios, Flare and Header Sizing)
• Hazard and Risk Analysis (HAZOP & LOPA/SIL Determination)
• SIL Calculation and Verification (including development of verification procedure)

FEA is beneficial to any project that requires strength, durability, or dynamics analysis. It investigates design changes for cost, weight, manufacturing, benchmarking, or performance reasons, and can provide confidence in designs before undertaking expensive and potentially destructive test regimes. Using sophisticated modeling software, FEA simulates interaction, and movement between parts in a system given a specific set of parameters. 

For components that are too large or complex for traditional testing, FEA provides a viable method to determine system dynamics and product characteristics. Our experts work with you to define boundary conditions and loadings that accurately reflect the service environment of your products. After running a finite element analysis, we can provide reliable data about ideal working conditions, fatigue, creep, load limits and durability, failure scenarios, and life cycling.

The reliance on fluids in energy applications makes FEA a powerful tool for understanding the system dynamics and engineering requirements that ensure the safe function of projects and components. Moreover, FEA is used for the design and the simulation of the operating conditions of power plant components such as HRSG, steam and gas turbine, hydraulic turbine, valves, piping, and penstocks.

We can provide finite element analysis for a variety of oil and gas applications, including:

• Linear and Non-Linear Static and Dynamic Stress Analysis
• Large Deformation and Engineering Critical Assessment
• Fitness for Service
• Residual Life Evaluation
• Heat Transfer Analysis
• Blast Pipeline Stress Analysis
• Engineering Critical Analysis (ECA) services
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) services
• Failure Analysis services
• Stress Engineering
• Fitness for Service (FFS)
• Conceptual and feasibility studies
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• Reliability and availability studies
• Value Add & Value Engineering (VA/VE)
• Corrosion studies

Access to accurate, easy-to-use manuals and technical publications improves equipment availability and productivity of oil and gas technical staff. Creating, maintaining, and updating of maintenance manuals are a huge challenge for the asset intensive and geographically dispersed oil and gas industry.We have the domain knowledge and the skills for content, publication design, translation and localization, and tools for end-to-end technical publication development and maintenance for the oil and gas companies. We develop technical publications that can be delivered in multiple formats which include print, DVD, HTML, e manuals and Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals IETM. We also help develop technical publications in desired languages for multi-regions operations.

• Technical Publication Management
• Technical Publication Design
• Translation and Localization
• Digitization and Migration
• Content Management
