Mobile offshore production units (MOPUs)

We have designed, manufactured and installed wellbay modules and tensioning equipment on MOPUs and mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) across key regions including the North Sea, Egypt, Asia and West Africa. This experience is supported by our wider platform topsides engineering capability, giving us a strong understanding of the processing equipment, utilities, deck layouts and system integration required to make MOPU developments work in practice. 

Our team delivers complete, end-to-end engineering support, from concept and FEED through to structural and mechanical engineering, topsides equipment design, conductor and riser analysis, fabrication support, project management and offshore installation. 

Beyond individual components, we support the engineering and delivery of MOPU-based developments across a range of subsea and surface well configurations, reflecting the various ways MOPUs can be deployed, from standalone processing hubs to integrated wellbay and platform-linked solutions. 

This enables us to tailor each solution to suit specific project requirements, supporting flexible development strategies from concept through to operations.

We offer a full-lifecycle package, including: 

• FEED and concept select studies 
• Structural and mechanical engineering 
• Conversion equipment & services 
• Topsides equipment design 
• Pre-drilling & suspension 
• Conductor and riser analysis, design, fabrication, project management and offshore installation 

Our extensive track record in platform topsides engineering is directly applicable to MOPU developments, where a core engineering focus sits within processing equipment, utilities, deck layouts and the integration of production-critical systems.  

Alongside this topsides capability, our detailed understanding of jack-up rig capabilities, drilling operations, wellbay modules, conductor systems, risers and tensioning equipment enables us to support the full MOPU configuration. This means we can help operators bring together the processing, structural and well access elements needed to suit different field requirements.  

Whether enabling surface tree developments, supporting subsea tiebacks, or integrating with adjacent structures, this approach gives operators a flexible route to production across different water depths, well counts and operating conditions. 

Other benefits include: 

• Custom engineering 
• End-to-end service 
• Cost-effective solutions 
• Innovative approaches
