What is it and what is its purpose?

In the oil and gas sector commissioning is a crucial aspect, which makes it extremely important to ensure it’s completed before operations begin because it will negate project risks and assist in the achievement of performance goals.

Once the equipment have been delivered to site and have been completely installed, Commissioning activities shall be carried out.

On customer’s request, Forain can carry out the commissioning activities with its technical staff on entire products, on a single equipment, i.e. separators or heater, on a skid package or on a complete plant
