Software
Wood Group develops, markets and maintains a suite of specialized software focused on helping customers to plan, design and maintain their oil & gas assets.
Designed by engineers, for engineers, our product range includes software for the design and data management of subsea systems, pipelines, risers, flow assurance, process optimization, asset integrity management and project document control.
Subsea
Our software assists with the design and analysis of slender structures subject to hydrodynamic loading regimes.
We market a range of time domain and frequency domain finite element programs for the global analysis and design of:
- risers (flexible, rigid, top-tensioned, steel catenary and drilling)
- mooring systems (catenary and taut)
- umbilicals
- offloading lines
- tethers
- pipelines
In support of these global analysis tools we also develop programs for local component design, such as bend stiffeners and flexible riser cross-section design. We also develop and sell a suite of desktop and on-board software solutions for:
- drilling riser management
- pipe-lay simulation and monitoring
- simultaneous operations planning
Quick Fact:
Our Flexcom program is generally regarded as the pre-eminent engineering software for the nonlinear time domain design and analysis of risers. Our software is used worldwide by a wide cross-section of the offshore industry, including oil companies, engineering contractors, consultants and classification authorities.
Pipelines and Flow Assurance
Wood Group markets a suite of turnkey real-time, on-line pipeline and asset management systems for monitoring, control and optimisation of operations, as well as off-line operator trainer system applications.
Our systems are integrated packages that can model the full suite of operations for well production allocation, monitoring and control of production, gathering, transmission, processing and distribution and overall asset management and optimisation. Our technology is field-proven for all facets of offshore and onshore operations, and geared toward overall on-line asset management and optimisation.
A typical system can include the following key components:
- Well production
- Gathering flowlines
- Topsides processing
- Transmission pipelines
- Onshore processing facilities
- Onshore transmission
- Distribution network
We provide integrated, robust packages that handle all of the above operations seamlessly.
