The project’s success led to the creation of an engineering alliance with Occidental of Elk Hills, Inc. (OEHI) in 2007, enabling OEHI to consolidate their engineering support under a single Improve contract to develop the infrastructure at Elk Hills and increase recovery from the field.
In addition to support at Elk Hills, WorleyParsons assisted Occidental with over 25 retro‑fit projects at offsite locations. Projects range from instrumentation and controls upgrades to designing new compressor stations. The offsite projects have increased gas refrigeration capacity, improved process plant reliability and provided more responsive instrumentation and control.
Workshare with other WorleyParsons offices has also been a feature of the alliance. WorleyParsons’ Long Beach office has supported the execution of work at offsite locations and multiple offices provided support to a series of large-scale power distribution upgrade projects.
The OEHI alliance exemplifies WorleyParsons’ ability to manage complex, brownfield, cross-sector projects utilizing workshare with other offices, while providing OEHI with one point of contact, irrespective of execution location.
