RCP provides specialist offshore engineering services supporting drilling, production, marine and energy assets in safety-critical and hazardous environments. Our engineers deliver practical, compliant solutions across control systems, instrumentation, electrical equipment and safety systems.
Offshore Capability
Our offshore services are delivered by highly qualified, CompEx-certified engineers with proven experience across oil and gas, renewables, marine and other hazardous area installations. All work is carried out in accordance with relevant IEC and ATEX standards, with a strong focus on maintainability, documentation and long-term asset integrity.
RCP supports both permanent installations and temporary campaign scopes, working seamlessly alongside client teams, OEMs and third-party contractors.
Core Offshore Services
PLC migration, programming and fault investigation
RCP specialises in upgrading and supporting offshore control systems, including legacy and obsolete platforms. Services include PLC migration, software redevelopment, functional testing and detailed fault investigation, with minimal disruption to operations. Our approach focuses on improving system visibility, diagnostics and long-term supportability.
Drilling instrumentation and safety system surveys
We carry out detailed surveys of drilling instrumentation, travelling block monitors, anti-collision systems and associated safety equipment. Surveys assess operational performance, compliance with current standards and overall system condition, providing clear recommendations for remedial work or upgrade where required.
BOP control panel refurbishment and support
RCPA engineers support the inspection, refurbishment and upgrade of BOP and choke control systems. Services include panel surveys, component replacement, pressure testing support and functional verification, ensuring systems remain reliable and compliant throughout their service life.
Sensor calibration and verification
We provide offshore calibration and verification services for a wide range of sensors and instrumentation, including pressure, level, load and position measurement. Accurate calibration is essential for both safety systems and process integrity, particularly in well control and drilling applications.
Installation, Commissioning and Project Support
RCP delivers complete offshore installation and commissioning services for low-voltage electrical and control equipment. Our teams are experienced in working within live offshore environments, following strict permit systems and site procedures. Services include installation and commissioning of electrical and control systems, loop checking, functional testing, handover documentation, on-site supervision, and rig refit support with installation teams and supervision. All work is supported by clear documentation, hazardous area inspection records and compliance reporting where required.
Inspections, Surveys and Compliance
RCPA provides CompEx inspections and surveys for offshore installations, including hazardous area inspections, compliance reporting against IEC 60079 standards, identification of non-conformances and remedial actions, and support during audits and regulatory reviews. In addition, we carry out equipment surveys covering control panels, instrumentation, BOP systems and choke panels, helping clients plan maintenance, refurbishment and upgrade programmes with confidence.
Specialist Offshore Support
To support offshore campaigns and maintenance activities, RCP offers containerised hydraulic workshop hire for offshore use, cable installation and testing for fibre, Profibus, Profinet and multicore systems, and offshore troubleshooting with rapid response engineering support. Our containerised and modular approach allows equipment and expertise to be deployed quickly, reducing downtime and improving campaign efficiency.
A Practical, Engineer-Led Approach
RCP’s offshore services are built around practical engineering solutions that work in real operating conditions. We focus on clear communication, robust design and close collaboration with offshore personnel to ensure systems are safe, reliable and fit for purpose.
Whether supporting a single offshore modification or a full rig upgrade, RCP provides the technical depth, offshore experience and hazardous area expertise required to deliver with confidence.
