At EnerMech, Process Services are more than just a technical offering – they’re a strategic enabler for our clients across the energy sector. We spoke with Scott Ligertwood, Process Manager – Europe, to explore what Process means within our Energy Solutions business, how we’re supporting major projects like Dana Petroleum’s Triton FPSO Shutdown, and why our approach is helping clients reduce complexity and improve outcomes.
What does Process mean at EnerMech?
Process is a core part of our Energy Solutions, and Infrastructure and Industrial Solutions, global business line offering. It’s designed to support clients across the full asset life-cycle, from FEED through to decommissioning and is a versatile service that spans upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. These services are particularly relevant for topsides, refineries, gas plants, and any facility with pipework, operations, maintenance, or shutdown requirements.
What makes our Process offering unique is its breadth. We’re not just delivering isolated services, we’re providing integrated support that helps manage, track, maintain, and test systems throughout scopes of work.
What kind of services does EnerMech deliver under Process?
We offer a comprehensive suite of services including flange management, bolt torque and tensioning, On-site machining, nitrogen purging, nitrogen helium leak detection, hydrostatic testing, hot oil flushing, and chemical cleaning. These are delivered by a multi-skilled team that’s trained to handle a wide range of scopes, which means we can be more agile and efficient on-site. Another key part of our offering is our system integrity management software SIMPro, a digital solution that underpins everything we do in Process.
What is SIMPro, and what makes it valuable to our clients?
SIMPro is our in-house system integrity management software we use and has been developed to support, manage, and track projects. It helps us plan, engineer, track, and record work in a way that’s fully traceable, efficient, and transparent – giving customer real-time visibility into the status of work being conducted on their critical systems. The software has the ability to record flange management activities along with its in-built bolting calculator, generate leak test work packs and critically record all of this activity data through the activities to ensure full traceability.
One of SIMPro’s key strengths is its ability to log every task with a clear tagging system, time-stamps, and supporting documentation. This makes it easy to trace and review historical data, which is especially useful for audits, troubleshooting, or planning future modifications. It also speeds up work pack generation, reduces duplication, and ensures no step is missed.
For many of our clients, SIMPro is a major reason they choose to work with EnerMech. The software gives them confidence that every detail is accounted for, and that they’re getting a safer and streamlined service.
Can you tell us more about the Triton FPSO project with Dana Petroleum?
We’re proud to have secured a three-year contract with Dana Petroleum to support the Triton FPSO. This project is a great example of how our Process services come together to deliver real value.
Our scope includes flange management, bolt torque and tensioning, on-site machining, nitrogen purging, nitrogen and helium leak detection, and drain, flush, purge, and vent services. We’re also deploying SIMPro to provide full activity tracking and real-time data, which enhances safety, compliance, and operational efficiency.
This contract is a significant milestone for our North Sea operations and reflects our ability to support FPSO assets globally. It’s also a testament to the trust our clients place in our people, our technology, and our commitment to delivering safe, efficient, and sustainable outcomes.
How does EnerMech’s approach differ from other providers?
What sets us apart is our integrated, multi-skilled approach. Many providers offer service-specific packages, which can lead to fragmented delivery and increased complexity. At EnerMech, we train our personnel across multiple disciplines, so they can deliver a wide range of services across our Process offering, without the need to swap out teams for different scopes.
This consistency not only improves efficiency but also strengthens relationships with our clients. Our teams become embedded in our clients’ operations, working side-by-side to deliver results. It’s a model that builds trust and drives better outcomes.
How does this approach reduce complexity for clients?
Our contracting model is designed to simplify project delivery. We often come in at the early stages of a project and stay on through its life-cycle, providing all the necessary Process services under a single EnerMech contract. This gives clients a single point of contact, streamlines communication, and reduces the administrative burden.
We also place a strong emphasis on collaboration, both with project managers and with the teams on the ground. That close working relationship means we can respond quickly, adapt to changing needs, and often deliver work ahead of schedule. It’s all about making life easier for our clients and ensuring their success is our success.
