What Precise Engineering does

Precise Engineering Inc. is a privately held Texas-based engineering services firm providing professional engineering, construction management, and operations support to the oil and gas industry. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Houston (11250 West Road, Building B) with a South Texas regional office in Aransas Pass, the company serves upstream operators, midstream customers, LNG facility owners, and plant operators across the United States and selectively internationally (projects with Exxon Neftegas in Sakhalin, Russia and ConocoPhillips Norway). Its named clients include four ExxonMobil entities, ConocoPhillips Norway, Anadarko Petroleum, Energy Transfer, Golden Pass LNG, Oxy Permian, Magellan Terminals, W&T Offshore, and Oasis Petroleum, among roughly 20+ enterprises.

The firm operates through two service pillars: Engineering Services, covering front-end engineering design (FEED), process studies, conceptual and detailed design, drafting, process documentation, and contract engineer placement; and Operations Services, covering plant and field operators, I&E advisors, construction foremen, precommissioning, commissioning, startup, operator training, and operations and maintenance. Technical delivery relies on industry-standard tools, notably CADWorx for 3D modeling of production facilities and compressor stations, OLGA-based multiphase flow assurance modeling, and a brownfield verification/as-built field process. The firm's value proposition rests on a deliberately small bench of 10+ senior associates, each with 30-40+ years of experience primarily at ExxonMobil, covering flow assurance, reservoir evaluation, process safety (OIMS development), and facilities/process engineering.

Precise Engineering generates revenue through project-based and time-and-materials professional services contracts, typically multi-year or ad hoc, with custom pricing per engagement and no public rate card. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with no channel partners, resellers, or marketing infrastructure beyond a basic website. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no acquisitions, no patents, no awards, and no public market activity, and its growth depends entirely on the capacity and client relationships of its senior personnel.
