SK Engineering

What SK Engineering does

SK Engineering (legal entity SK Eng. Limited) is a UK-registered specialist pipeline engineering consultancy founded in 2010 and headquartered in Isleworth, Middlesex. The firm delivers subsea and onshore pipeline design, flow assurance, integrity assessment, piping design, and life-of-field services to major oil and gas operators and EPC contractors across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Reported project highlights include engineering subcontracts for BP's West Nile Delta and Angola Block 31 developments, the Tullow Oil TEN project in Ghana at 2,400m water depth, Subsea7 subcontract work, and what is described as the world's longest HDD pipeline (Amukpe-Escrevos, 20 km) in Nigeria. As of public reporting the firm has designed 4,500 km of pipelines and served ~10 enterprise clients across 12 projects.\n\nThe core technology asset is Spectrum Pipelines, a proprietary software suite launched in January 2021 and co-developed with Z-Subsea. The suite comprises 13 modules covering flow assurance, wall thickness design, on-bottom stability, span and fatigue (VIV/FIV/FIP), upheaval and lateral buckling, cathodic protection, internal corrosion, erosion, HISC, environmental cracking, and integrity assessment, each implementing recognized industry codes. Spectrum is sold via modular licensing, marketed directly and through authorized channel partners in India (Petrophoenix) and the Middle East (Great Waters Maritime), with an integration partnership with Oslo-based Sface for subsea field development workflows.\n\nRevenue derives from three streams: project-based engineering services (time-and-materials contracts for operators and EPCs), Spectrum software licensing (perpetual/quote-based), and instructor-led training priced $1,000-$5,000 per course. The company is privately held, founder-led by CEO Amit S. Prasad (a Chartered Engineer with ~21 years of industry experience), bootstrapped with no disclosed external investment, and operates with ~60 employees.
