About Us

Who we are

We are a group of highly skilled, well versed and experienced engineers who have pledged to resolve the complex problems of our industry pain points. We offer digital solutions that ensure the safety and reliability of hydrocarbon transportation within the ALARP risk.

With our digital solutions, we have achieved up to RM129.14 Million (USD 30.7 Million) of realized value by optimising inspection and maintenance for our offshore and onshore pipelines.

This resulted in preventing future opportunity losses and pipeline failures to PETRONAS' businesses in downstream, upstream and gas.

Our commitments to sustainability pledges have successfully reduced

The ORCATM technology contributes to PGB’s operational excellence by revolutionising the management of unpiggable pipelines with end-to-end pipeline integrity management capability. Meanwhile, the Ultra Long Range Acoustic Technology deployment will boost the reduction of OPEX, while supporting PGB’s effort to reduce CO2 emissions, towards PETRONAS’ Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050 aspirations.

ORCA is enabling new methodology for riser integrity inspection as an area of highest risk in offshore pipeline integrity. We found the ORCA team really commendable in their energy to execute the scope, progress ORCA as a technology and we can see it maturing into a customer-oriented product. We look forward to continue supporting ORCA as it grows in the industry.

i-PIMS has been a GREAT SUCCESS in short. PETRONAS has successfully deployed a one-stop integrated pipeline integrity management dashboard covering the pipeline integrity assurance life cycle. The approach follows International Standards (ASME B31.8s, API 1160) and incorporates industry best practices. EnQuest Pipeline Integrity Team has taken the first step by signing up for the pilot implementation session – lining up three pipelines. It has been a success from all angles, including a user-friendly interface. EnQuest looks forward to exploring a full i-PIMS deployment for all its pipelines in the coming future.
