Service Introduction

Longitude brings deep-rooted expertise across the full lifecycle of a field, combined with the knowledge and experience from the wider ABL Group – together we support clients in navigating the challenges, risks, and opportunities in field development from subsurface exploration, to engineering, construction, and operations, and finally at decommissioning. We bring a legacy in energy production dating back to 1979, with multi-disciplined design, engineering, energy, and marine expertise, to deliver a truly comprehensive technical offering. From feasibility and conceptual design through to FEED and detailed engineering, we provide support for offshore, tieback, and floating facilities, with a view to helping our clients extract maximum value throughout the lifecycle of an asset. The addition of digital and software expertise within the Group also enables Longitude to provide clients with customisable dashboard solutions, integrating multiple data sets for real-time process safety and asset integrity monitoring.

Field Development Market Challenges

Full Project Cycle Management for Field Development with ABL Group

ABL Group companies, ABL, AGR and Longitude combine to provide a project management offering to support across the lifecycle of a field development. From subsurface exploration through to construction, operations, and decommissioning – we blend experience with multi-disciplined expertise, to provide tailored solutions to drive safety and performance at every phase.

ABL provides market-leading marine consultancy, assurance, marine warranty survey and asset integrity management. We support assets from T&I, O&M, to decommissioning and in managing loss in marine casualty scenarios.

AGR brings trusted expertise in subsurface engineering, exploring seismic, reserves, and wells, and performing commercial feasibility and technical due diligence to determine the long-term viability of an asset. In-house proprietary software also supported enhanced efficiency and cost in drilling operations and field development.
