Oil & gas

URS has been a leader in the oil and gas industry for more than 80 years, providing integrated planning, environmental, engineering, construction and operating support services across the entire oil and gas value chain. Services include upstream exploration and production (both on-shore and off-shore) to treatment, transportation, storage (including terminals and underground storage of gas), LNG, refining and marketing. Our long-term clients include most of the world’s largest integrated oil and gas companies, which we support through multi-year, multi-service master agreements. We also provide demolition, asset recovery and integrated property reuse and redevelopment services for sites, including service stations, refineries and former oil fields.

We view each of our customers as a business partner - not just a series of projects. Our fundamental approach to problem solving is guided by the awareness that safety is first and foremost in all of our activities, and that each of our clients has a unique set of concerns and objectives. We offer a consistent global approach and innovative solutions to the complex technical, scientific and management issues affecting the full Oil & Gas value chain.

URS’ combination of broad industry experience and local knowledge helps clients solve key exploration and production issues across environmental, social, economic and engineering fields, navigate complex regulatory negotiations, and effectively engage stakeholders to ensure smooth and on-time project completion. We provide construction, construction management, procurement and installation services, as well as commissioning, start-up and testing support. Where appropriate, we partner our clients to add value to their business by providing on-site engineering support, dedicated long-term operations and maintenance and expert troubleshooting and turnaround assistance.

We have worked for virtually all major oil and gas companies, on the majority of refineries, storage / distribution terminals and service station networks in Western Europe, as well as on privatisation projects for state-owned oil companies and due diligence, corporate audit, soil and groundwater investigation / remediation and regulatory compliance / permitting in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.
