In contrast to other consulting and engineering firms, GATE's philosophy is based on taking an operators prospective to a problem and not limiting ourselves to a specific discipline.

Viking’s Materials and Corrosion Team is involved with detailed material selection and qualification support with the goal of ensuring the selection of fit for service materials and their appropriate manufacture and fabrication.

GATE follows a similar methodology to threat identification in risk assessment (e.g. FMEA), and analyses the relations between possible causes, and prevention and maintenance measures to highlight the cause(s) to be addressed.

Provides fit-for-service evaluations, testing and analysis for evaluating complex downhole failures, pipeline failure investigations and forensic services for midstream and downstream clients and also provides services to the renewable energy sector.

The Corrosion and Materials Team for oil and gas developments and water and gas injection systems forms one of Viking’s core oil and gas engineering services.

Viking can help you design and implement a tailor-made Risk Based Inspection (RBI) Program.

Combining the engineering studies such as modeling, risk identification, etc. with field techniques for inspection, maintenance and surveillance, process efficiency and optimization, and rehabilition operations.

GATE can improvise, implement and manage a cost-effective plan for your asset to ensure safe and continuous operation.

Integrity engineering consulting starts at design stage where the corrosion control strategy is laid-out to reach the desired service life with minimum interruption.

At Viking, we take Flow Assurance modeling to operations by using a systems engineering standpoint addressing the challenges from modeling to development of operational strategies to optimize the production system.

Preparing for operation of a major oil and gas facility is a daunting task. Viking provides standard operating procedure (SOPs) generation, maintenance planning (CMMS, Spares), FMEA and RCA studies and Control System Tuning and HMI Screen Development. 

Operations Readiness systems developed late in a project and in silos can’t reach the potential of becoming the powerful tools that they were developed to be.

The main difference between the GATE Stream-Based HAZOP and a typical HAZOP is that we define nodes based on ‘streams’.

Viking uses an innovative phased approach. High level SOPs are developed early based on the PFDs. These are then matured to mid-level and finally to detailed procedures as the project matures.

Extensive knowledge and experience is required not only to fully understand how an asset should work, but also to know how to maintain efficient working conditions. Each facility is different, presenting new and unique challenges.

Life extension is a comprehensive review of a facility or vessel to determine if improvements are required, and what is needed to extend the operational life.

Viking’s Chemical Systems Engineering team is engaged in all aspects of chemical-related technology for offshore and onshore facilities. The team focuses on production chemistry solutions, chemical injection system design and chemical umbilical commissioning.

Viking’s Chemical Vendor Qualification procedure for technical and business compliance provides a transparent procedural overview of the process.

Viking’s Chemical Systems team provides fit-for-purpose chemical injection systems for flow assurance specific needs to each project.

Viking’s Chemical Systems team determines what issues may cause an existing chemical system to not perform to the operators’ desired specifications and will deliver a course of action designed to mitigate these issues to ensure best performance.
