Offshore units may have requirement of major or minor conversions during its lifetime for specific projects or for enhancing the capabilities or life extension. Our core capability and experience include providing engineering services for upgrades and conversions for various types of offshore units for clients worldwide. A lot of complimentary services provided within the group like inspections, surveys, equipment procurement, project management assistance at yards, commissioning assistance etc. provides our clients an edge in meeting project requirements faster, safer and in a cost-effective manner.
Aries Energy provides engineering services for the conversion and upgrade of various types of offshore units for clients worldwide, with conversions being either major or minor depending on project needs. This work also draws on Aries Energy's broader offshore engineering capabilities, including reassessment of existing offshore oil platforms, jackup rigs, and semisubmersibles, using tools such as SACS, Sesam, and OrcaFlex.
Offshore units typically need conversion or upgrade engineering when a specific project requires added capability, when capacity or function needs enhancing, or when the asset's operating life needs to be extended. Aries Energy's offshore conversion engineering addresses all three drivers, and can be paired with the company's separate life extension studies when a full remaining-life assessment is also needed.
Yes. Aries Energy's offshore conversion and upgrade engineering explicitly covers life extension as one of the reasons a unit is converted, alongside project-specific needs and capability enhancement. This work sits alongside Aries Energy's separate life extension studies service, so a life extension assessment can be paired with the structural conversion engineering needed to implement it.
Aries Energy's offshore engineering team, which supports conversion and upgrade projects, uses software including SACS, Sesam, STAAD.Pro, Femap/Nastran, OrcaFlex, MOSES, OPTIMOOR, Autohydro, and GRLWEAP. These tools cover the structural, mooring, motion, and stability analysis needed to validate a converted or upgraded unit's performance.
