Modular Hydraulic Power Unit Upgrade

Need & Challenge

A major exploration and production company needed to replace an existing HPU that was in production for 20 years.
Mobility was limited as all surrounding skids were erected and operational.
  • Project: Offshore HPU Upgrade
  • Location: Houston, Texas
  • Market(s): Upstream

Solution & Outcome

W-Industries upgraded the modular HPU with modern safety features and expanded its capabilities. Upgrades included a reservoir skid with 750 Gal. re, a pump skid above existing HPU capacity, an accumulator skid with expansion and separate HCUs controlling each umbilical. The HPU was split into multiple skids to ease mobility and enable installation within the existing space constraints.
Accommodated Site Constraints:
By providing a unique solution to split the HPU split into multiple skids, W-Industries was able to ease mobility and overcome the site constraints.
Expanded Capabilities:
Upgrading the HPU, W-Industries upgraded the unit to include modern safety features and expanded capabilities.
