Integrated Oil & Gas Support
Forgedcore provides end-to-end support for oil and gas operators, service companies, and project owners in Ghana. We blend engineering, operations, and HSE expertise to help teams plan, execute, and operate safely and efficiently across upstream, midstream, and downstream environments.
Our consultancy covers feasibility studies, concept selection, field development planning, and optimization of existing assets. We help clients reduce risk, control costs, and meet regulatory expectations while maintaining high safety and environmental standards across all project phases.
Alongside consultancy, we design and deliver targeted technical and HSE training programs, as well as structured project management support. From project controls and reporting to contractor coordination and site supervision, our team strengthens your in-house capabilities and helps teams manage safety, schedules, and budgets against clearly defined project objectives.
Support Across the Petroleum Value Chain
Upstream: Exploration & Production
Technical reviews, field development planning support, production performance analysis, and coordination of engineering and operational interfaces. We help teams translate project information into practical development and improvement priorities.
Midstream: Transportation & Storage
Engineering advisory for pipelines, transfer systems, terminals, and storage facilities, with attention to equipment condition, maintenance planning, operational risks, and reliable product movement.
Downstream: Processing & Distribution
Process performance reviews and operational support for petroleum processing, depots, fuel handling, and distribution. Focus areas include product handling, inventory visibility, loss reduction, and safe operating procedures.
Service Companies & Project Owners
Scope development, contractor coordination, technical documentation, and workforce development for businesses supporting petroleum projects. We align the work package with your operating environment and delivery priorities.
Technical & Operational Services
Each engagement starts with an agreed scope, the available technical data, and the decisions your team needs to make. Depending on the assignment, our support can include:
Petroleum Engineering & Technical Advisory
Feasibility and concept reviews, development planning support, technical due diligence, and option appraisal. Deliverables may include assessment reports, comparison of alternatives, and a prioritized implementation roadmap.
Process Modelling & Performance Analysis
Review of process data, operating conditions, and system bottlenecks to identify improvement opportunities. Outputs can include process models, performance summaries, and recommendations for further engineering assessment.
HSE & Operational Risk Management
Hazard identification, task risk assessment, procedure reviews, and emergency preparedness support. We help teams document responsibilities, identify control gaps, and track corrective actions within their safety management systems.
Operations & Maintenance Planning
Review of operating procedures, equipment criticality, preventive maintenance plans, and shutdown preparation. The emphasis is on clear work priorities, maintainable records, and reduced avoidable disruption.
Asset Integrity & Inspection Planning
Support with asset registers, inspection schedules, condition information, and follow-up of identified defects. Inspection activities and specialist assessments are scoped around the asset and the competence required.
Pipeline & Facilities Engineering Support
Technical coordination for pipelines, pumping systems, storage tanks, and associated mechanical and electrical services. Support includes documentation reviews, interface management, and construction or commissioning readiness.
Project Management & Controls
Work breakdown structures, schedules, cost tracking, risk registers, contractor coordination, and progress reporting. We give project owners a clearer view of milestones, dependencies, changes, and delivery risks.
Data, Reporting & Workforce Development
Operational dashboards, structured reporting, skills-gap reviews, and targeted learning plans. We connect engineering information with practical decisions and help teams build the capability to sustain improvements.
Practical Petroleum & HSE Training
Training is tailored to participant roles, experience, and the systems they work with. Programmes can combine guided instruction, worked examples, scenario discussions, and practical exercises, with learning objectives agreed before delivery.
- Petroleum industry fundamentals and the upstream-to-downstream value chain.
- Process operations, equipment fundamentals, and interpretation of engineering documentation.
- Hazard identification, task risk assessment, permit-to-work awareness, and incident reporting.
- Safe petroleum handling, spill response awareness, and emergency preparedness.
- Maintenance planning, asset integrity awareness, and operational reliability.
- Project controls, technical reporting, and data analysis for engineering teams.
Share your team's learning goals so we can propose the content, duration, delivery format, and assessment approach. Any requirement for accredited training or certification should be agreed as part of the programme scope.
How We Structure Your Engagement
-
01 / Understand the Requirement
We review your operation, project stage, technical challenge, available records, and desired outcomes to establish the scope and key constraints.
-
02 / Assess & Plan
We identify information gaps, assess priorities, and agree the work plan, deliverables, responsibilities, and review milestones with your team.
-
03 / Deliver & Coordinate
We carry out the agreed advisory, training, or project support activities and keep stakeholders informed through structured reviews and progress reporting.
-
04 / Review & Hand Over
We present findings, recommendations, and agreed documentation, with a clear action list and knowledge transfer to support your next steps.
Planning Your Petroleum Assignment
Can you support an existing operation?
Yes. An engagement can focus on a specific operational challenge, a maintenance or procedure review, process performance, or a training need. Share the issue and available records so the scope can be defined.
What information helps you prepare a proposal?
Include the location, type of facility or operation, project stage, required support, target dates, and expected deliverables. Relevant drawings, equipment lists, operating data, and existing reports help establish the assessment needs.
Can consultancy and training be combined?
Yes. A technical review can inform a tailored training programme, helping your team understand the findings and apply the agreed procedures or improvement actions.
