Green light for AS Mosley’s new headquarters

Councillors overturn planners’ decision for development at Kingswells House development to go ahead. Detail design will start early next year, with a view to relocating in 2026 from our current location at Oyne, Aberdeenshire.

After the disappointment of our planning application being rejected in the summer, we are grateful to local Councillors for overturning the planners' decision, after seeing the potential in what we’re doing and the importance of giving this historic building a new life. Detail design will start early next year, with a view to relocating in 2026 from our current location at Oyne, Aberdeenshire. Thank you to our architects, McWilliam Lippe Architects in Inverurie, for their enthusiasm on this project, and their continual support.

We can now move ahead with this project and look forward to relocation next year. To read the full Insider article, click here.

West of Shetland Case Study

Learn how our team worked on this Umbilical Assessment project in West of Shetland, which endures some of the worst environmental conditions in the world.

West of Shetland has some of the worst environmental conditions in the world. In this project, AS Mosley undertook an assessment of the Umbilical used to control the subsea equipment of a riserless intervention system. The assessment determined the required tensions to prevent excessive deflection and line payout as well the required specification of a heave compensated winch. This allowed operations to be carried out with high levels of operability.

Rapid Screening of Multiple Wells with WellScreen

WellScreen is an innovation of AS Mosley, that has evolved over the last few years and has had a substantial impact in the oil & gas industry.

The tool allows for rapid screening of multiple wells to identify those, if any, that need in-depth analysis. WellScreen covers the full life cycle of the well, from initial vessel selection and well design, to drilling, completion and final abandonment. This approach can result in significant savings in both analysis spend and operational time. Find out more about WellScreen here.

AS Mosley gains SEQual approval

After completing an in-depth supplier exercise, involving a desktop assessment, we are very pleased to gain SEQual approval. SEQual is an energy industry portal, that was developed in 2021 to support procurement practices. Although it’s in its infancy, it is already highly regarded by peers, and is fast becoming the ‘go-to’ for procurement for many large players, providing a quality assurance that suppliers are “ready” for deployment, and saving procurement teams time in accessing various documentation individually.

We are proud to have robust management systems in place, which have been designed using specific principles and frameworks to help us meet and exceed various industry standards. These systems played a role in securing the SEQual registration, as well as the many other certificates and accreditations that we hold, including the following:

ISO 9001:2015
ISO 14001:2015
ISO 45001:2018
Achilles FPAL

As many in the industry will know, a huge amount of work, time, and effort is required to obtain each one of these certificates. The output is a few certificates, but the outcome is far greater – the processes and frameworks that these accreditations help us test and challenge makes for a stronger, and more efficient organisation, which we benefit from, but also our clients benefit too. It’s important to us, as a team, to keep investing in our systems for the greater good.

Recruiting for Graduates

We excited to be recruiting again for more graduates. If you are about to graduate with (or currently hold) a bachelor’s degree in mechanical, civil, aeronautical engineering, naval architecture or related discipline, and are keen to embark on a career in analysis, then read on.

Graduate Analysis Engineers

We are looking for multiple full time Graduate Analysis Engineers to assist in the design and assessment of subsea exploration and production equipment and perform riser and wellhead analyses using Flexcom and Orcaflex software and non-linear structural analyses using ANSYS.

In return, you'll work for a friendly and welcoming organisation that invests in its people and has a range of benefits available to employees, which is based in a peaceful setting in Aberdeenshire, though hybrid working is available.

AS Mosley wins prestigious innovation award

AS Mosley picks up Business & Product Innovation Award at Scottish FSB Awards 2023

We are extremely proud to have won an award from the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) for Business & Product Innovation.

AS Mosley picked up the prestigious award yesterday (8th March) at the Voco Grand Hotel in Glasgow at a glitzy ceremony hosted by the FSB.

The award was given in recognition of developing WellScreen, and AS Mosley's involvement in Digital Twin technology.

WellScreen is a unique screening analysis tool that allows operators in the oil & gas industry to rapidly screen a number of wells at any one time. The tool tests for wellhead fatigue, and highlights wells needing more detailed analysis. The Digital Twin work was in collaboration with University of Strathclyde and Fugro, where we developed a methodology for a Digital Twin for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines.

Attending the event on behalf of AS Mosley, was Callum Methven (pictured), Principal Analysis Engineer, Andrew Mosley (pictured), Director, Eileen Cooper, Marketing Consultant of Limetree, and her husband, Andrew Cooper of Andrew Cooper Golf.

Andrew Mosley, Director at AS Mosley said: “This is fantastic news! We’re delighted to be recognised for the our innovative WellScreen tool, as well as our digital twin work. WellScreen has taken over five years to get it to where it is today and it’s having a huge impact on our industry and literally saving operators hundreds of thousands of pounds. We are grateful to our clients, for giving us the inspiration and motivation to develop WellScreen. Thanks also goes to our Digital Twin partners and, of course, our staff and dedicated team of expert engineers, who have made this success possible.”

AS Mosley will go on to represent Scotland in the UK Final on 18th May 2023.

Ladies’ Day event raises £5757 for North Rayne Primary School

AS Mosley was pleased to support Rayne North Primary school with their Ladies’ Day fundraiser last week at Drouthy Laird, Inverurie. In total, they raised a staggering £5757 for the Parent Council.

We were pleased to support Rayne North Primary school with their Ladies’ Day fundraiser last week at Drouthy Laird, Inverurie. In total, they raised a staggering £5757 for the Parent Council. Our very own Kirsten Campbell was involved in organising the event, attended by over 170 ladies. AS Mosley donated a Fossil handbag and a £100 voucher for Sinclair's in Inverurie. The funds raised will be used to buy a smart TV on wheels and to support the school’s library, with new books and reading resource. Well done to all involved.

AS Mosley sponsors Ellis Simpson

AS Mosley is proud to sponsor Cross Country Skier, Ellis Simpson. The 14 year-old has shown nothing but dedication over the last few years and was recently presented with the Snowsport Scotland Under 14 championship trophy for finishing in first place at the Scottish Roller Ski Series 2022.

Ellis has now been selected to join the British Nordic Development Squad for XC Skiing. Fantastic achievement – well done Ellis!

AS Mosley has given Ellis a donation towards his training. We hope it helps and we wish Ellis all the best in the months and years ahead.

Case Study: Subsea Conductor Running in Strong Currents

AS Mosley was recently commissioned to determine safe operating sea state limits for a complex drilling operation, using a 30”conductor, deep (1200m) in the Norwegian Sea.

Undertaking a VIV assessment, strength assessment, and an irregular wave fatigue assessment, allowed us to advise the client to limit the sea state to 4m, which would ensure neither the HWDP nor conductor would exceed their allowable bending stress. This gave them the confidence they needed to proceed, knowing their boundaries and ensuring a safe operation.
