Frames products cover all segments. We deliver solutions from our Frames product portfolio. We work together to engineer, design and deliver the best solution for you. For example, we design and supply customized equipment for onshore, offshore (fixed platforms) and floater (FPU, FPSO or FLNG) projects. We offer innovative solutions to specific challenges in these segments: reducing weight and package sizes for limited plot spaces for the offshore and floater markets; engineering solutions for wave motion challenges at floating production facilities; and modifying equipment to incorporate changes in conditions. Each solution draws on the knowhow of people across our global organization.

Operator Training Oil and gas operators are the driving force behind safe and reliable installations and facilities. We see it as our responsibility to improve, update and check their knowledge and skills. In classrooms and on-site, operators are trained by experienced Frames trainers from multiple disciplines. We can provide extensive process instructions for the safe use of installations and facilities, as a solid basis and guide for all operators. These instructions and manuals form the basic structure for individual training courses, which are further tailored to meet each operator’s specific needs.
