Oil & Gas Midstream

Connecting Resources to Markets Safely

The midstream sector is the critical link between resource extraction and downstream refining. It demands infrastructure that flawlessly manages the flow of massive volumes of hydrocarbons across vast geographic distances while maintaining uncompromising safety and environmental standards. The ACP Group provides comprehensive oil and gas midstream engineering services specifically tailored for gathering systems, long-haul transmission pipelines, pump stations, compressor stations, and large-scale terminal facilities.

Our expertise ensures that product moves securely and efficiently from the wellhead to the refinery or export terminal. We understand the regulatory hurdles, logistical complexities, and geographic imperatives involved in midstream projects. By integrating sound mechanical design with cutting-edge telemetry, we deliver infrastructure that minimizes operational risk and maximizes throughput.

Pipeline, Terminal, and Storage Engineering

The design of midstream assets requires anticipating surge pressures, multi-phase flow dynamics, and strict geographic topography challenges. Our midstream engineering capabilities cover:

• Transmission Pipelines: Hydraulic modeling, route selection, and detailed engineering for cross-country liquid and natural gas pipelines, ensuring compliance with all DOT and PHMSA regulations.
• Pump & Compressor Stations: Optimal sizing and design of rotating equipment to maintain pipeline pressure and flow rates, incorporating stringent vibration and acoustical mitigation.
• Terminals & Storage Tanks: Design of high-capacity above-ground storage tanks (ASTs), truck/rail loading racks, marine loading arms, and vapor recovery unit (VRU) integration.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)

Visibility is critical when managing hundreds or thousands of miles of pipeline network. ACP Group is an industry leader in designing and integrating advanced SCADA systems tailored for the midstream environment. We deploy secure, low-latency communication networks that connect remote terminal units (RTUs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) across vast regions back to a central control room.

This highly reliable integration enables real-time leak detection, automated emergency shutdown (ESD) capabilities, and highly accurate custody transfer metering (LACT units), all of which safeguard your product and the surrounding environment. Our cybersecurity protocols are embedded from the start to protect critical infrastructure from logical intrusion.

Enhancing Asset Integrity

Maintaining the structural and operational integrity of midstream assets over decades is a top priority. ACP Group implements robust mechanical integrity programs within our designs, including advanced cathodic protection systems, internal corrosion monitoring, and predictive failure analytics, ensuring that your pipeline and storage investments remain productive and compliant long into the future.
