Independent gas compression engineering
Engineering services built around your production challenges
We work with mid-sized oil & gas operators facing declining field pressures or unreliable compression equipment — and we have no affiliation to any OEM or EPC contractor to influence the advice you get.
30 minutes. No obligation. We'll tell you plainly if this isn't a fit
TYPICAL ENGAGEMENT PATH
Discovery Call
Concept / Diagnostic
Delivery & Assurance
Why independence matters
Not owned by an OEM. Not affiliated with an EPC contractor. We work for you.
No commercial ties to equipment vendors — technology recommendations are made on engineering merit alone.
Acts as genuine Owner Engineer, protecting your position in procurement and contract negotiation.
Called on for independent dispute support between operators and EPC / OEM contractors.
What we do
Three ways we de-risk your compression decisions
From first concept through to commissioned, reliable operation — each service below can stand alone or run as part of one continuous engagement.
SHEET — CONCEPT & SELECTION
CONCEPTCOMPRESSOR™ · modgas™
Gas Compression Conceptual Design & System Selection
Selecting the wrong compression system at field development stage is a decision that haunts operators for decades. We de-risk that choice with integrated asset modelling and deep compressor design expertise, matched to your specific reservoir conditions.
Proof point — Rosneft Rospan: our integrated modelling approach cut simulation time significantly during concept selection.
Integrated asset modelling and reservoir pressure forecasting
Compression concept evaluation and technology screening
Multiphase flow assurance analysis
Conceptual and pre-FEED engineering studies
Downhole, wellhead, and centralised compression assessment
Independent technology investment de-risking
SHEET — OPTIMISATION & RELIABILITY
CompressorDoc™
Compression Asset Optimisation & Reliability
When existing compression equipment underperforms, the cause is rarely obvious — it takes a rare combination of rotating equipment expertise and process engineering insight that's almost never found together in-house. We apply our CompressorDoc™ methodology to find root causes and carry the fix through to sustained performance gains.
Proof point — BP Andrew (North Sea): led the diagnostic and reliability programme that restored sustained compression performance.
Compression system performance diagnostics and root cause analysis
Reliability improvement strategies and roadmaps
Compressor rewheel technical assurance
Rotating equipment performance testing and analysis
Turbocompressor special technical studies
Condition monitoring strategy development
SHEET — OWNER ENGINEER & PM
INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL ASSURANCE
Engineering Project Management Consultancy
Industry-wide resource constraints leave project personnel stretched across operations, maintenance, and project roles at once — and quality, schedule, and value all suffer at the phase when it matters most. We act as Owner Engineer / Client Engineer on your behalf, giving independent technical assurance and project management through FEED and EPC. Our independence from EPC contractors and OEMs is a structural advantage in contract negotiation and dispute situations.
Proof point — Pluspetrol Peru: delivered a third compression train on programme and on budget as Owner Engineer.

Before you call
What a Discovery Call actually looks like
Not every enquiry needs 30 minutes on the phone first. If you'd rather see how we've approached a similar problem before talking, start with a case study instead.
01
You describe the problem
Declining pressure, unreliable equipment, a stalled project — in your own terms, no prep required.
02
We tell you where it sits
Which of the three services (if any) applies, and roughly what an engagement would involve.
03
No pressure, no obligation
If we're not the right fit, we'll say so — independence cuts both ways.
START WITH THE CHALLENGE, NOT THE SERVICE NAME
What compression decision is on your desk right now?
Tell us what is happening, what decision you need to make, and what is at risk. We'll identify whether ETA can help and which route makes sense.
Live operating problem affecting production? Add an "Immediate / operating issue" option to the enquiry form and prioritise that route.
