The oil and gas industry operates within a complex and demanding environment, requiring precision, safety and efficiency at every stage. From upstream exploration and production to midstream transportation and storage and downstream refining and distribution the need for meticulous planning and execution is paramount. At iPAC Automation, we understand these critical requirements. Our Detail Engineering services for the oil and gas sector are designed to provide comprehensive, accurate and reliable engineering solutions that underpin successful project delivery and sustained operational performance. We bring together a team of experienced engineers, domain experts and cutting-edge technologies to translate conceptual designs into fully developed engineering packages, ensuring adherence to industry standards, regulatory compliance and your specific project objectives. Our commitment is to provide the detailed foundation necessary for safe, efficient and profitable operations throughout the lifecycle of your oil and gas assets.

Detail Engineering is a crucial phase in any oil and gas project, bridging the gap between conceptual studies and actual construction and commissioning. This stage involves the meticulous development of all engineering documents, drawings and specifications required for procurement, fabrication, installation and testing. In the oil and gas industry, where projects often involve high-pressure systems, hazardous materials and stringent safety regulations, the accuracy and completeness of detail engineering are non-negotiable. Errors or omissions at this stage can lead to significant delays, cost overruns and, more importantly, safety hazards. Our Detail Engineering services focus on minimizing these risks by providing a thorough and well-documented engineering foundation. This includes detailed design of process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), equipment layouts, structural designs, electrical schematics and control system architectures.

iPAC Automation offers a comprehensive suite of Detail Engineering services specifically tailored to the needs of the oil and gas industry. Our multidisciplinary team possesses extensive experience across various sub-sectors, including onshore and offshore production facilities, refineries, petrochemical plants, pipelines and storage terminals. Our expertise encompasses:

• Process Engineering: Development of detailed PFDs, P&IDs, hydraulic calculations, equipment sizing and selection, safety reviews (HAZOP, SIL) and process control narratives.
• Piping Engineering: Design and analysis of piping systems, including material selection, stress analysis, pipe support design and layout optimization, ensuring compliance with ASME and other relevant codes.
• Instrumentation and Control Engineering: Development of instrument specifications, control system architecture, loop diagrams, wiring diagrams and integration plans for Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).
• Electrical Engineering: Design of power distribution systems, motor control centers (MCCs), lighting layouts, grounding and bonding systems and hazardous area classification.
• Mechanical Engineering: Design and specification of static and rotating equipment, including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors and turbines, adhering to API and other industry standards.
• Civil and Structural Engineering: Design of foundations, steel structures, pipe racks and buildings required for oil and gas facilities, ensuring structural integrity and stability.

We utilize industry-standard software and tools for design, analysis and documentation, ensuring accuracy and efficiency throughout the Detail Engineering process.

Our approach to Detail Engineering is centered on collaboration, communication and a commitment to exceeding client expectations.
