SAEK provided technical advisory services in electrical power systems for the redevelopment of a mature offshore field, including new infrastructure integration with existing facilities.
The engagement focused on electrification strategy, power system optimisation, and operational reliability, producing advisory outputs that ensured robust and safe integration of new and existing systems. SAEK’s consultancy approach emphasised technical studies,
equipment assessment, interface coordination, and risk-informed recommendations.
SAEK applied a structured consultancy methodology:
• Power System Studies: Performed load flow, short-circuit, stability, motor starting, and harmonics analyses across new and existing infrastructure
• Electrification Advisory: Provided guidance for transitioning critical systems to electrified operation
• Equipment Assessment & Obsolescence Review: Evaluated ageing electrical equipment and recommended upgrades to maintain operational reliability
• Interface & Integration Advisory: Coordinated multidisciplinary inputs to ensure seamless integration across platform systems
• Operational Advisory: Provided guidance on efficiency, reliability, and compliance with offshore standards
This methodology ensured a robust, safe, and optimised electrical system design, fully aligned with project objectives and engineering best practices.
SAEK’s Role:
• Guided electrical system configuration, protection schemes, and equipment selection
• Reviewed and validated technical outputs for compliance with industry best practices and regulatory standards
• Provided phased implementation recommendations and risk mitigation strategies
• Ensured technical integrity, operational reliability, and performance optimisation
throughout the project lifecycle
The advisory engagement delivered:
• Comprehensive electrical system advisory for integration of new and existing offshore infrastructure
• Recommendations to enhance reliability, operational efficiency, and equipment lifecycle
• Identification of technical and operational risks and recommended mitigation measures
• A fully auditable advisory package supporting engineering decisions and project execution
