Oil & Gas Consulting

Advance cleaner, safer, more efficient oil and gas operations

Exponent's multidisciplinary engineers and scientists bring deep domain expertise to complex oil and gas challenges. Whether you're dealing with metallurgical or mechanical issues, quantifying asset risk and service life, evaluating production performance, or seeking guidance on intellectual property, facility design, safety inspections, or environmental impact assessments, we provide clear findings you can act on. When challenges threaten uptime, safety, or budgets, we help you get operations back on track.

Get to the root of failures

When equipment fails, Exponent finds out what went wrong and why. Our metallurgical and mechanical experts assess damaged piping and equipment, performing detailed chemical, mechanical, and materials testing at our state-of-the-art labs around the world. We determine the cause of complex failures and provide meaningful insights so you can take advantage of corrective actions and prevent future recurrence. 

Manage disputes

Backed by nearly 60 years of real-world field experience in oil and gas equipment, piping, and storage systems, we provide fast, defensible insights for litigation and international arbitration, including claims related to construction, production, delivery, and environmental incidents. 

Protect people and the environment

Our environmental and ecological groups help you achieve and maintain compliance throughout the oil and gas production lifecycle and across local, state, and international requirements. We assist with legal claims from environmental impacts related to construction to the fate of water produced by daily operations. We can also provide assistance with environmental regulations around endangered species assessments and ecological/environmental impacts.
