Where SCS Global deploys

Containerised infrastructure for oil, gas and energy, built factory-direct

SCS Global manufactures oil and gas infrastructure in containerised, factory-built form for offshore platforms, drilling rigs, FPSOs, onshore gas plants, LNG facilities and pipeline projects worldwide. The range spans DNV 2.7-1 certified offshore containers, baskets, skids, mud skips, workshops and living quarters, plus ATEX and IECEx hazardous-area modules, containerised switchrooms and motor control centres, bunded dangerous goods storage, and wellsite offices and laboratories. Every unit ships factory-direct with full certification packs, finite element analysis and lifting calculations. This containerised oil and gas kit serves operators, EPCs, drilling contractors, fabrication yards and offshore service companies across upstream, midstream and downstream operations, plus the wider energy sector infrastructure around them.

Sector context

Why oil and gas projects build in containers, not concrete

Oil and gas infrastructure is the equipment and buildings a project needs to drill, produce, process and ship hydrocarbons: offshore platforms and the cargo carrying units that supply them, onshore gas plants and LNG facilities, and the workforce camps that house pipeline and construction crews. Offshore fields alone supply close to 30% of the world's oil, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. On a fixed refinery the answer is poured concrete and steel-framed buildings. On an offshore platform, a remote gas field or a pipeline corridor, the answer is containers: factory-built, road and sea freight ready, crane-lifted into position, certified for the lift, and redeployable across the life of the asset.

The driver is logistics and certification, not aesthetics. A container module ships in a standard envelope, lands on prepared foundations, and survives the saltwater, wind, vibration and crane handling that wreck conventional construction. The EPCs and oil and gas infrastructure companies running these assets specify units that already carry the DNV 2.7-1 certification an installation won't accept cargo without, and petroleum infrastructure on hazardous sites adds ATEX and IECEx ratings. The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers sets the safety and operational benchmarks the sector works to, and modular oil and gas buildings, factory-built and certified, are now the operational default offshore and at remote sites. The same logic now extends to renewable energy infrastructure. Solar farms, wind farms and battery storage projects use the same redeployable enclosures, and the International Energy Agency reports 108 GW of new battery storage deployed worldwide in 2025, 40% more than in 2024.

The oil & gas product lines

Containerised infrastructure for oil and gas

Six product lines from the SCS Global DNV-certified offshore range, built for oil and gas operations. Each card opens onto the product page, with the engineering, certification and product detail behind it.

Compliance and standards

Regulatory and certification landscape for oil and gas

Oil and gas modules are audited against offshore, fire, hazardous-area and structural standards before an installation accepts them. The table names each standard SCS Global engineers to, with one line on what it governs and a link to the issuing authority for the current revision. The hub names the standards; the clause-level detail lives in the DNV 2.7-1 and offshore container standards guide. Design engineers use it to confirm SCS builds to DNV 2.7-1, EN 12079, ATEX and IECEx before clicking through to the spec-bearing pages.

DNV 2.7-1 (DNV-ST-E271) The offshore container standard. Governs structural design, prototype testing, pad-eye and lifting-set certification, and periodic inspection of every cargo carrying unit lifted to and from an installation. DNV
EN ISO 10855:2018 / EN 12079 Offshore containers and associated lifting sets: design, manufacture, testing, inspection and marking. The European and ISO framework that runs alongside DNV 2.7-1. ISO
A60 / H60 fire rating (IMO FTP Code) Fire integrity ratings for offshore accommodation, control rooms and safety-critical modules. A60 and H60 divisions resist hydrocarbon and cellulosic fire for 60 minutes, verified to the IMO Fire Test Procedures Code. IMO
ATEX 2014/34/EU + IECEx Equipment for use in explosive atmospheres. Zone-rated hazardous-area modules and explosion-proof enclosures around wellheads, gas processing and mud systems certify to ATEX and the IECEx scheme. IECEx
CSC 1972 (IMO) International Convention for Safe Containers. The CSC plate is the structural certification on every container shell used offshore or onshore, plated at the SCS factory before dispatch. IMO
NORSOK (Z-015, S-001, C-001) The Norwegian offshore standards specified on North Sea and Norwegian Continental Shelf projects, covering temporary equipment, technical safety and area layout for offshore modules. Standards Norway

Midstream & downstream

LNG and gas processing facilities

LNG export and import terminals, gas processing plants and pipeline compressor stations run on the same containerised kit as the rest of the sector: bunded dangerous goods storage, hazardous-area switchrooms, gas-test labs and crew accommodation. These are high-hazard, schedule-driven builds, and LNG infrastructure is the fastest-growing slice of the petroleum infrastructure value chain. Global LNG trade grew 2.4% in 2024 to 411.24 million tonnes across 22 exporting and 48 importing markets, per the International Gas Union 2025 World LNG Report. SCS supplies the midstream and downstream pieces: bunded dangerous goods storage for LNG terminals, hazardous-area switchrooms and motor control centres for gas processing, gas-test and analysis labs and control rooms, and workforce accommodation during construction.
