Summary

Infinity were engaged to act as an upstream operator’s Owner’s Project Manager, Engineer and delivery integrator across multiple producing assets, bridging early-phase studies into Execute, tightening EPC oversight, and accelerating schedule-critical scopes.

Overview

Under a long-term Owner’s Project Management & Engineering framework, we provide end-to-end support from pre-FID studies through Execute. A core element is our EPC Management role, working as the client’s delivery team during execution to ensure technical quality, commercial discipline and schedule assurance, while coordinating interfaces between the operator, the incumbent EPC, suppliers and offshore operations.

Objective

  • Provide continuity as scopes transition from Concept/FEED into Execute
  • Strengthen governance and delivery assurance over EPC outputs
  • Reduce rework and delivery risk through clearer interfaces and independent technical challenge
  • Accelerate critical-path offshore execution while maintaining compliance and safe delivery

Key findings

  • Independent engineering challenge improving option selection and reduced over design ahead of FEED and Execute
  • PMO-led delivery strengthened planning discipline and execution readiness across multiple complex work packs
  • Interface management (client / EPC / vendors / offshore operations) improved decision making and project delivery
  • Infinity's in-house engineering consultancy utilised on an as-required basis to close incumbent capability gaps and de-risk offshore execution
  • Scope rationalisation for late-life operations improved prioritisation of integrity, obsolescence and life-extension actions

Differentiator

An integrated “owner’s team” delivery model that combines pragmatic engineering, assertive EPC management and strong PMO control, maintaining technical impartiality while keeping decisions aligned to cost, schedule and operational priorities. This consistently drives leaner scopes, shorter cycles and lower project risk across a multi-asset portfolio.

Outcome

We became a trusted delivery partner and project delivery integrator, maintaining momentum as scopes move from pre-FID into Execute and strengthening governance of the incumbent EPC’s deliverables. On a flagship execute-phase offshore scope, our approach removed unnecessary complexity, accelerated offshore delivery by ~3 months and delivered ~£500k savings while maintaining full compliance and safe execution. The work was formally recognised by the client through a performance award.
