Atkins will be exhibiting at the 2015 Subsea Expo in Aberdeen from 11-13 February, Europe's largest annual subsea exhibition and conference.

The Atkins stand (140) will showcase the full multidisciplinary expertise that the company brings to the international oil and gas industry, with a particular emphasis on deepwater and high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) facilities. Atkins' team, based in Aberdeen, specialise in a number of relevant disciplines including flow assurance, pipeline and subsea engineering, materials and corrosion engineering, system design, integrity management, life extension, and risk and reliability.

Working in partnership with clients, Atkins is active in the full lifecycle of subsea facilities from early field development and FEED, through project delivery and assurance, and into operations, life extension and decommissioning.
