Engineering consultancy Longitude Engineering has been appointed by Egypt’s PETROSAFE (Egypt Oil & Gas Sector – HSE), to deliver a Fitness for Future Service assessment on the Warda platform offshore Egypt, owned by one of Egypt’s Oil & Gas Sector Production Companies.
The Warda platform is a four-leg jacket supporting wellhead and production facilities within the Al-Zaafarana oilfield in the north central Gulf of Suez, Egypt.
PETROSAFE and Longitude’s scope of work comprises an extensive engineering assessment to ensure the platform has adequate strength and fatigue life. Project deliveries include an engineering assessment of the historical platform design, the installation plan, and previous inspection documentation.
Further, PETROSAFE and Longitude’s scope of work covers the development of offshore underwater and topside inspection plans, and preparation of a structural integrity assessment including seismic, in-place, natural frequency and fatigue analyses.
Longitude will also develop a cathodic protection assessment and report, a Fitness for Future Service assessment, as well as stakeholder management with the independent verification bureau throughout the project. Lastly it will develop inspection and maintenance repair plans for the platform.
“This project comes after the completion of recent engineering work on the flexible riser life extension in the same Al-Zaafarana field and reinforces Longitude Engineering’s position in Egypt as a provider of specialist engineering services in the oil and gas industry. We look forward to supporting our client on the Warda platform.”
