Engineering Support in the Energy Industry – Engineering Design, Project Management and Technical Supervision from a Single Partner

Chess Energy Ltd. was established in 2017 as a family-owned business and has since been committed to supporting its partners’ energy and industrial projects with engineering expertise. Our services are built on three complementary capabilities: engineering design, project management and technical supervision.

The Story of Chess Energy

“From the First Move to the Solution.”

Our goal is to ensure that the projects entrusted to us are delivered with equal consideration for safe operation, cost-effective performance and long-term sustainability.

The Story of Chess Energy

“From Our Beginnings to the Present Day”

Chess Energy began with operational experience in the oil and gas industry and gradually expanded its capabilities to include engineering design, project management and technical supervision.

Roots in the Oil and Gas Industry

Founded in 2017

International Partnerships

Among our international partnerships, our cooperation with NRG MED is particularly significant. The well-testing specialist is an active participant in the energy market across several countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).

Roots in the Oil and Gas Industry

Chess Energy’s roots lie in oil and gas operations. Our founders gained practical engineering and operational experience in this field, including through projects connected to MOL and Hungarian Gas Storage Ltd. (MFGT).

2017 – The Founding of Chess Energy

Building on this professional background, Chess Energy was established in 2017 as a family-owned business.

Engineering Design Became a Core Capability

A defining milestone in the company’s development came when experienced engineers joined the team and engineering design was added to our services. This discipline has since become one of Chess Energy’s core capabilities.

A Reliable Network of Partners

As the company grew, we built an extensive network of partners, founded on reliability, predictability and flexibility – values that remain central to our cooperation today.

Expansion into New Industries

Over the years, we recognised that the engineering experience gained in the oil and gas industry could also be applied successfully in other sectors. As a result, we gradually expanded our activities into geothermal energy and the process industry, where we encounter many similar technical, technological and safety challenges.

A Growing Team and Stronger Partnerships from 2022

From 2022, our team continued to grow, while our domestic and international partnerships also became significantly stronger.

Three Engineering Capabilities in One Company

Our engineering support is built on three complementary and independently established capabilities: engineering design, project management and technical supervision.

Although engineering design is our leading discipline, our other two services are also independently established areas of expertise with strong professional foundations, rather than supplementary activities.

Chess Energy – engineering support in the energy industry – technical supervision

Engineering Design

We participate in the design of surface production and process systems, pressure equipment and related safety solutions, from concept development through to detailed engineering design.

A process engineering approach and model-based simulations can help ensure that systems are sized according to actual operating requirements, while critical points can be identified as early as the design phase.

Project Management

Delivering a major energy project does not always involve sufficient internal capacity or a dedicated project team.

In such situations, Chess Energy can take responsibility for the project’s technical and organisational coordination, either in an independent project management role or through comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) coordination.

We typically perform our assignments from an Owner’s Engineer perspective, representing the client’s interests throughout the entire project lifecycle.

More information

Technical Supervision

The purpose of independent technical supervision is to identify discrepancies between the approved designs and the completed construction at an early stage, when they can generally be corrected with less time and cost.

Continuous professional oversight can help reduce construction risks and ensure that the project is delivered in accordance with the intended technical scope.

Industries Served by Chess Energy

Industries We Serve

We provide our services in three key markets, contributing our full range of engineering capabilities – engineering design, project management and technical supervision – to projects in each sector.

Oil and Gas

More information

In oil and gas projects, we provide engineering support for surface production systems, gathering stations, gas treatment technologies and related safety solutions.

Geothermal Energy

More information

In geothermal projects, we contribute throughout the entire lifecycle of deep geothermal systems, from feasibility studies and system design to supporting permitting processes.

Our experience covers both heat utilisation and electricity generation projects.

Process Industry

More information

In the process industry, we primarily participate in projects for chemical and food-processing facilities, as well as paint and coatings plants.

These environments frequently involve specialised media, pressurised systems and stringent fire and explosion protection requirements.

The Chess Energy Team

Our Team

Within our team, the expertise of young, ambitious professionals complements the knowledge of highly experienced colleagues.

This approach brings fresh thinking and many years of practical experience together in our projects.

Our engineers hold relevant design licences and have practical industry experience, while our technical supervisors are authorised across several disciplines.

These include hydrocarbon and gas industry (ME-GO), mining (ME-B), energy supply (ME-EN), building electrical systems (ME-V) and building construction (ME-É).

In addition to professional authorisations, industry experience, systems thinking and a problem-solving mindset play a defining role in our work.

The Principles That Guide Us

Our Operating Principles

As a family-owned business, we believe in long-term partnerships. Our work is guided by principles that play a defining role in every project.

Reliability
We strive to fulfil our commitments consistently and to the expected technical standard.
Predictability
We work to ensure that project processes progress transparently, predictably and in a coordinated manner.
Flexibility
We tailor the form of our support to the size, complexity and requirements of each project, from smaller assignments to the delivery of complex developments.

Standards Supporting Our Operations

Consistent and transparent operations are supported by an integrated management system that we introduced based on experience gained in large corporate environments.

Both these principles and the applicable standards shape our day-to-day work.

Our integrated management system is based on the following standards:

ISO 9001

Quality Management

ISO 14001

Environmental Management

ISO 45001

Occupational Health and Safety
