Engineers who haverun the plant,not just drawn it.

HighTec Energy is an owner's engineer. We take a project from concept and FEED through detailed design, construction support and commissioning, and we are still on site the day it starts up.

Who you are actually hiring

An owner's engineer sits on your side of the table.

Most engineering firms are paid to deliver a package. An owner's engineer is paid to protect your interest in it, which means saying when a design is being optimised for the contractor's schedule rather than your operating cost. Our senior people have held plant and operations roles at midstream and refining operators, so the advice comes from having lived with the consequences.

  • 01Decades of operating experience. The people scoping your project have commissioned units, not only specified them.
  • 02Full value chain. Upstream, midstream, downstream, refining, power generation and emissions reduction, under one roof.
  • 03Two-timezone delivery. Integrated teams in the United States and India, so drawings move while the site sleeps.
  • 04Hands on to the end. Concept and FEED through detailed design, construction support and commissioning.

Feed studies, yield work and the detail engineering that sits between a plan and a turnaround.

Capabilities

Ten disciplines, one accountable team.

You are not handed to a different firm halfway through. The same people who scope the work carry it into construction, which is why the drawings and the commissioning plan agree with each other.

Detail Engineering

Meticulous and comprehensive detail engineering, translating conceptual designs into precise, buildable plans for energy infrastructure.

How we work

One team from the first sketch to the first barrel.

Most cost overruns are handover losses: what the concept team assumed, the detail team never heard, and the commissioning team discovers. Holding all four phases removes the seams where that happens.

PHASE 01

Concept & FEED

Options, order-of-magnitude cost, and an honest view of whether the project should proceed at all.

PHASE 02

Detailed design

Issued-for-construction packages your contractor can build from without a fortnight of clarifications.

PHASE 03

Construction support

Field queries answered in hours, and an engineer who will walk the line with the crew.

PHASE 04

Commissioning

Start-up, performance testing and the punch list, closed out by the people who designed it.

Selected work

What the job was, and what actually changed.

A project page earns its place when it names the problem, the work and the outcome. Anything less is a photograph with a caption on it.

Gas processing

Major Gas Processing Plant Fire Rebuild

Damage assessment and re-engineering of the affected trains, with a phased return to service.

Refining

100 kbpd Refinery Feed Study

Crude slate evaluation and yield work to establish what the unit could take without capital spend.

Ethane Blending Project

Blending scheme, metering philosophy and the controls work to place ethane into the stream in spec.

If the material balance does not close, something is wrong. Usually it is not the oil.

Insights

Written by the people doing the work.

Our engineers write these between projects. They are the reason a stranger trusts the capability page, and the only pages that bring in someone who has never heard the company name.

Start here

Tell us what is not adding up.

Most of our work starts with one number somebody cannot explain: a variance that will not close, a unit that will not hold rate, a cost estimate nobody believes. Send us that number and we will tell you plainly whether it is something we should be looking at.
