Oil Rig

What is the oil & gas sector?

The oil and gas sector is a vast and complex field that spans the entire energy value chain, from the initial stages of discovery and extraction (upstream), through transportation and storage (midstream), to refining and distribution (downstream).

This domain encompasses disciplines such as petroleum, reservoir, drilling, production, pipeline engineering, refining technologies, and logistics.

Group Industrial’s Role in Oil & Gas

At Group Industrial, we deliver essential support to offshore oil and gas operations, where safety, precision, and efficiency are critical. Our services are executed by highly qualified IRATA-certified rope access technicians, who operate in hazardous or hard-to-reach environments, especially upstream infrastructure like oil and gas rigs. These services include:

  • Coatings Application: We apply protective coatings to critical structures and components exposed to harsh offshore conditions. These coatings prevent corrosion and prolong the lifespan of assets, maintaining structural integrity under the most demanding environments.
  • Mechanical Services: From welding to mechanical maintenance and repairs, our technicians are equipped to handle high-spec operations safely. Rope access techniques allow us to work efficiently with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

Why Rope Access Matters

  • Unparalleled Safety: IRATA accreditation ensures that every rope access operation adheres to stringent global safety standards. Our technicians undergo continuous audits and training, ensuring top-tier professionalism and security for every task.
  • Operational Efficiency: Traditional access methods such as scaffolding or mobile elevated platforms can be cumbersome and expensive, especially in offshore environments. Rope access minimises setup time, reduces manned exposure, and lowers overall project risk and downtime.
