Service Introduction
Longitude has a recognised track record in marine operations engineering for oil rigs and jack-ups of all types and sizes, supporting operations in oil & gas and offshore wind. We employ advanced analysis and simulation techniques in the design and engineering of offshore oil rig and jack-up operations, mitigating risk from the outset and informing design decisions for enhanced future operations.
Being part of the global consultancy ABL Group, means that we bring to clients a truly holistic service approach, blending our multi-disciplined oil rig and jack-up engineering expertise with more than 40 years of practical experience in rig moving and operations around the world.
This enables us to apply our global service offering via local and often in-country expertise, providing a truly contextual and site-specific analysis, which will in turn support our clients in driving increased value from their assets across their lifespan.
