General Maintenance & Repairs

Nuga Oil and Gas supplies facility upgrades and maintenance services to different oil companies and major oil and gas operators. These services are very important in aging oil fields where ongoing facility and infrastructure maintenance is needed to sustain production and to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Whether operating on its own or working with a local in-country contractor, this program provides the planning, project management, maintenance crews and vessels appropriate to the project and meets all regulatory requirements associated with facility and platform maintenance.

The driving consideration behind the design of oil and gas platforms is to extract the hydrocarbon, crude oil or natural gas, quickly and cheaply. Unfortunately, this approach often leaves maintenance as a secondary design consideration. The structure and plant aboard most platforms are designed for the conditions they are likely to face – brutal winds, a harsh maritime environment and every other difficult environmental headache found in the middle of the ocean.
Onshore processing facilities are not dissimilar and, being subject to a major safety case under legislation, these facilities are also often in remote and possibly harsh environments. Further complicating matters is scale. Producing millions of litres of refined product requires big bits of kit.

Nuga Integrated Services Ltd provides a full range of experience, capabilities and equipment to provide quality repairs to oil and gas platform owners, and the marine, infrastructure construction and service industries. Our repair methodology is rooted in a matchless combination of engineers who understand the dynamics of the underwater environment and an experienced team of underwater specialists who utilize Class approved ship inspection procedures, welding repair procedures, underwater repair and rigging expertise, and an industry-leading quality assurance protocol that provides the customer with accurate and timely Objective Quality Evidence of contracted repairs.

Nuga uses a variety of manned and unmanned technologies supported by highly experienced operators and engineers to develop cost-effective solutions to a wide range of offshore and onshore challenges. An example of this is the underwater structure inspection capability that combines diver and automated techniques to obtain paint, metal thickness, and weld integrity measurements.
