Frames products cover all segments. We deliver solutions from our entire portfolio by working together to engineer, design and deliver the best solution for you. We design and supply modular equipment for onshore, offshore platforms and floater (FPU, FPSO or FLNG) projects. For onshore projects we support you developing your (marginal) oil and gas fields from concept through detailed engineering up to and including equipment supply and startup. Our extensive knowledge determining CAPEX and OPEX for different technical solutions has helped many clients select the best process with accurate cost estimates early on and transparency through every stage of the project. For the offshore industry we are able to supply a broad range of solutions, including comprehensive topside modules that combine multiple treatment technologies.

Services At Frames we take a lean and pragmatic approach to services. We develop our services to provide the reliable performance that defines our family of products. Based on our hands-on expertise and service framework, we customize our services to meet your specific needs. Our experienced service engineers are available worldwide to support the services listed below.
Engineering Studies Economic analysis is crucial at the beginning of each new development. The success of any project is directly related to a proper design philosophy selected at the start. With our extensive process know-how and wide technology knowledge, Frames is the right partner to assist you with feasibility studies, starting with concept screening, followed by concept selection. During concept screening, all potential technologies are scanned. The optimized concept is selected taking into account an overall lifecycle cost estimation including CAPEX and OPEX review in order to fit your business model. Being technology independent, we can choose the best of all possible solutions. During concept selection, we work one-on-one with you to develop essential deliverables, the process design, cost estimates and schedule to use in the project. Our experience in engineering, fabrication and markets ensures accurate cost estimates, even in the early stages of development.
