Summary

Designs, analyzes, and delivers subsea production and pipeline systems for offshore oil & gas, including flowlines, PLETs/PLEMs, connectors, manifolds, wellhead systems and installation hardware. Distinct from topside/process, naval architecture, or reservoir-focused siblings: this focus centers on subsea hardware design, global/structural and flow-assurance analysis (OrcaFlex, Abaqus, OLGA), code-compliant pipeline integrity (DNV-ST-F101, API 1160, ASME B31.4/B31.8), and offshore installation/commissioning of subsea equipment via ROV-supported operations and FAT/SIT.
