Oil & Gas
The Oil and Gas industry in South Africa and various other African countries is a growing market with new deposits of natural gas being discovered in unlikely locations in and around the continent (e.g. East and West African coastlines).
​Introduction
The Oil and Gas industry is a highly specialised field involving hydrocarbon gas exploration and distribution, oil exploration, refinement and distribution, and various forms of bio gas options.

Our Experience and Offerings
When conducting cost estimates and project schedules for the Oil and Gas or Petrochemical industries, one must ensure that one's Estimators are fully experienced in these areas to ensure that all the special standards and specifications are adhered to and that absolutely all possible costs are allowed for in the cost estimates. Due to the complex and often dangerous nature of work in petrochemical environments, it is of paramount importance to also ensure that due time allowances are made in project schedules.
​Summary
It could be argued that the Oil and Gas industry is by far the most dangerous and technically challenging environment in which to execute projects. Add to that the challenges of remote locations and absent infrastructure, and it becomes clear that all parties involved (customers, consultants, engineering and design, contractors, suppliers and vendors) must be fully aware of the nature of oil and gas work, and be appreciative of its unique challenges and risks. PTCC's Cost Engineering staff has many years worth of petrochemical estimating and scheduling experience and have a deep understanding and respect for these types of projects.
