What We Do
Services, Products, Proprietary Equipment & Training
▸ Specialty Engineering Services for Petroleum & Chemical Industries
In contrast to other consulting and engineering firms, GATE's philosophy is based on taking an operators prospective to a problem and not limiting ourselves to a specific discipline.
▸ Engineering Lab Services
Provides fit-for-service evaluations, testing and analysis for evaluating complex downhole failures, pipeline failure investigations and forensic services for midstream and downstream clients and also provides services to the renewable energy sector.
Metallurgical Laboratory Testing Services
Mechanical Testing, Tensile Testing, Harness Testing, Materials Chemical Analysis, Metallographic Evaluations, Fracture surface Evaluations, Microstructural Characterization, and Customized Testing
Failure Analysis Lab Services
Forensic Engineering, Field Investigation, Legal support / Expert Witness, Root Cause analysis, Sample Collection, Proprietary Failures Database and Fit-for Purpose Evaluations
Modeling & Technology Lab Services

▸ Well Design & Engineering
Provides fit-for-service evaluations, testing and analysis for evaluating complex downhole failures, pipeline failure investigations and forensic services for midstream and downstream clients and also provides services to the renewable energy sector.
Casing & Tubular Design
Well Planning & Configuration, Tubular Design, Evaluation of Connections, WELLCAT/StressCheck/TDAS, Casing & Tubular Design Training Courses, Mill Qualification & Surveillance
Integrated Fracturing & Stimulation
Viking has the expertise to help operators better understand past well failures and frac performance by working together to develop improved frac designs and execution.
Completions Operations
Viking Engineering provides onsite support for all fracturing and stimulation operations. The onsite Viking team ensures that operations are executed as it was designed and planned while making sure to achieve the project objectives. This gives our clients peace of mind throughout the process.
Frac & Re-Frac Modeling & Design
Viking Engineering provides operators with a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to hydraulic fracturing and stimulation-related operations. From fracture design to execution and post-treatment analysis, Viking’s approach offers the operator technically supported decisions when conducting fracturing and stimulation operations.
Frac Field Planning & QA/QC
Viking Engineering provides operators with a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to hydraulic fracturing and stimulation-related operations. From fracture design to execution and post-treatment analysis, Viking’s approach offers the operator technically supported decisions when conducting fracturing and stimulation operations.
Downhole Material Selection
Viking Engineering has performed many materials selection projects to help operating companies produce oil and gas safely and within budget.
A-Annulus Operating Envelope (AOE)™
The Viking team merges the mechanical and dynamic thermal-hydraulic aspects to bring a true systems approach to annulus pressure management.
Completions & Downhole Equipment
Complete Lifecycle Stress Analysis, Completion Design, Downhole Equipment Evaluation
▸ Operations Readiness
Preparing for operation of a major oil and gas facility is a daunting task. Viking provides standard operating procedure (SOPs) generation, maintenance planning (CMMS, Spares), FMEA and RCA studies and Control System Tuning and HMI Screen Development.
Maintenance Management
Operations Readiness systems developed late in a project and in silos can’t reach the potential of becoming the powerful tools that they were developed to be.
Process Hazard Analysis & Accident Investigation
Viking uses an innovative phased approach. High level SOPs are developed early based on the PFDs. These are then matured to mid-level and finally to detailed procedures as the project matures.
Stream-Based HAZOP Process
The main difference between the GATE Stream-Based HAZOP and a typical HAZOP is that we define nodes based on ‘streams’.
Planning, Procedures & Operator Training
We have a broad knowledge in generating plans for the initial startup of wells, subsea tie-backs and new platforms.
