MSi provides turnkey systems implementation services including assistance with project management, design basis formulation, detailed functional specification, factory acceptance and site integration testing, field tuning, after-installation maintenance, and technical support.

MISSION-CRITICAL OPERATIONS DEMAND ROBUST, FIELD-PROVEN SOLUTIONS

MSi systems are the best-of-breed, providing fit-for-purpose, field-proven operations and business tools addressing a broad spectrum of demands of the mission-critical management and operations of oil and gas assets.

Our systems are software packages based on a field-proven, real-time multiphase simulation engine, with a documented deployment history of over a decade on key oil and gas operations worldwide.

MSi systems are designed and built from the "ground-up" for real-time, real-world applications. Our software systems feature the highest caliber of true-to-operations performance and robustness in a fully-integrated, user-friendly package.

Today, MSi software systems control and optimize the world's vital oil and gas supplies from complex, multiphase gathering networks to the largest wet gas operations, feeding very large capacity, high up-time demanding LNG facilities to the most technologically-advanced oil and gas production and processing operations.

UPSTREAM OIL AND GAS TECHNICAL CONSULTING SERVICES

MSi provides technical consulting services to the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry. Our service package includes design and operations support through:

• State-of-the-art transient and steady-state multiphase and single-phase pipeline simulation
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis
• Detailed dynamics process simulation
• Finite Element Modeling (FEM)
• Thermodynamics and hydraulic modeling
• Integrated laboratory measurement interpretation and modeling
• Technology field-testing

For this purpose, MSi employs various commercial off-line simulation tools like OLGA 2000, Fluent, FlowMaster2, ALGOR and HYSYS and other specialized proprietary MSi packages, including MSi's FDG™ and GUTS™ packages.

GLOBAL EXPERIENCE AND WORLD-CLASS SERVICE

Our professionals have been involved in pioneering many innovative uses of advanced technology, including the first transient 3D heat-transfer analysis of buried multiphase pipelines, the first and one of the largest actively-heated bundle systems, one of the longest black oil subsea tie-back in the Gulf of Mexico, installations of robust monitoring and closed-loop control systems for complex multiphase networks and the identification and mitigation of flow assurance issues for ultra deepwater, including gelled fluids and extended subsea tieback applications.

MSi provides technical support for feasibility studies, conceptual design, preliminary engineering, detailed design, hook-up and commissioning, operational troubleshooting and de-bottlenecking, asset and pipeline management software systems implementation and asset expansion and abandonment.

We provide these services in several capacities including:

• Project management
• Technical advisor
• Independent auditor/validation/certification
• Working interest representation
• Total design and technical solutions provider
