Hydraulic Systems At Frames we combine decades of extensive experience in providing high-end hydraulic systems for the upstream oil and gas industry with state-of-the-art technology to create innovative systems and solutions, solving all challenges presented to us by our clients.

Wellhead Control Our wellhead control panels (WHCPs) are vital elements in the main control and safety systems for both onshore and offshore production facilities. Our tailor-made panels enable safe operation of the actuated safety valves in the oil and gas production Christmas trees and flowlines by providing clean, hydraulic power and reliable operating and control features.

Multi-Wellhead Control Panel for Offshore Platform

Subsea Hydraulic Power Units Frames Subsea Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs) are top-listed when it comes to reliable hydraulic power sources for subsea production systems. Our systems are designed, manufactured and thoroughly tested in-house to continuously provide a clean and stable flow of hydraulic fluid at various pressure levels and to meet all necessary requirements for client-specific subsea control systems.

Subsea HPU for Floating Production

Hydraulic Power Units The hydraulic power units (HPUs) provide reliable and clean hydraulic energy to a variety of users in offshore and onshore locations. Our HPUs ensure reliable operation and control of a wide variety of equipment, including subsea controls, intervention workover control systems (IWOCS), topside-actuated valves, turret-actuated valves, cargo handling systems, turret disconnect systems and seal isolation.

Product Details Intervention Workover Control Systems Frames Intervention Workover Control Systems (IWOCS) provide the hydraulic power, monitoring and control facilities to enable installation and intervention of subsea Christmas tree systems, guaranteeing safety without impacting other wells.

IWOC System for Offshore Platform

Topside Umbilical Termination Units Our topside umbilical termination units (TUTUs) provide a reliable and robust interface between the main umbilical and the topside utility equipment on a platform or FPSO. The units can be used for hydraulic fluids such as water-glycol or mineral oil, electric signals, fiber-optic communication or a wide range of chemical fluids.

TUTU for Floating Production

Cargo Ballasting Systems The cargo ballasting systems ensure that the ballast in the hull of an FPSO is distributed evenly so that the facility is always in balance. We provide the controls, valves and actuators as part of a complete control and safeguarding package.

Integrated Telemetry Buoy Solutions

Automation Oil and gas facilities require specialized automation facilities that are tailored to the application through multidisciplinary engineering.

Frames has developed various buoy control and pipeline monitoring systems that include automation products such as remote terminal units (RTUs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. Information from these systems is transmitted using telemetry solutions, for instance fiberoptic systems and VHF radios. Our integrated telemetry solutions provide a highly available, secure and efficient communication channel between all (offshore) nodes and the central control room.

Engineering Studies Economic analysis is crucial at the beginning of each new development. The success of any project is directly related to a proper design philosophy selected at the start. With our extensive process knowhow and wide technology knowledge, Frames is the right partner to assist you with feasibility studies, starting with concept screening, followed by concept selection. During concept screening, all potential technologies are scanned. The optimized concept is selected taking into account CAPEX and OPEX review in order to fit your business model. Being technology independent, we can choose the best of all possible solutions. During concept selection, we work one-on-one with you to develop essential deliverables, the process design, cost estimates and schedule to use in the project. Our experience in engineering, fabrication and markets ensures accurate cost estimates, even in the early stages of development.

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.

During training sessions, both in classrooms and on-site, operators are trained by experienced Frames trainers from multiple disciplines. Our experience enables us to 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.

Spare Parts Spare parts are essential when it comes to system availability and reliability. We specialize in supporting you worldwide with spare parts and the associated management services. Our flexibility in this regard is what many of our clients consider to be our principal added value in terms of safeguarding production reliability. Spare parts management isn’t simply replacing old or worn-out system components with new ones. With the right assistance, companies can enhance performance by upgrading over time, reducing demand for spare parts over the life cycle of a system. Ultimately, this significantly reduces the OPEX of a system. Three decades of experience allows us to tackle these challenges and help you save time and money while reducing the environmental footprint of your system.
