Oil and gas: securing technical flows in demanding environments
Oil and gas operations concentrate significant constraints: ATEX zones, chemical products, heavy equipment, limited access, tight deadlines and mandatory documentation. On a drilling site, a refinery, a depot or an offshore platform, each module must be selected according to its actual use and applicable safety rules.
The container provides a robust, mobile answer for storing, transporting, fitting out or isolating a technical function. National Conteneur helps you select the right format among a DNV container, ATEX module, containment storage, mobile workshop or living quarters.

Container uses in the oil and gas industry
The oil and gas sector imposes some of the most demanding operational constraints in industry: offshore environments, ATEX zones, crane handling and the presence of hazardous products. Containers suited to these contexts cover the entire field logistics chain, from storing sensitive chemical products to housing intervention teams in isolated environments.
Industry constraints
How containers meet oil and gas requirements
-
DNV certification
DNV 2.7-1 containers are chosen for offshore operations subject to dynamic lifting. Structure, lifting points, marking and certificates must be consistent with the operator's requirements and the applicable reference standard.
-
Rapid deployment
A need can arise for a drilling campaign, a technical shutdown, a temporary extension or an isolated intervention. The container makes it possible to quickly add storage, a workshop or a support area without shutting down the site.
-
ATEX compliance
In explosive atmosphere zones, equipment integrated into the module must be compatible with the ATEX classification. Electrics, ventilation, lighting and accessories are defined according to the use and the installation zone.
The most commonly used container types in oil and gas
The formats selected for the oil and gas sector meet strict certification standards — DNV 2.7-1 for offshore lifting, the ATEX directive for explosive atmospheres — and rapid deployment requirements on sites that are often far from any conventional logistics network. Their structural robustness and adaptability to specialized fit-out make them the only relevant formats for these critical applications.
The most useful formats for offshore, classified zones and technical loads.
-
DNV 2.7-1 container
The DNV 2.7-1 container is intended for offshore operations with lifting between dock, vessel and platform. It combines a reinforced structure, dedicated lifting points, marking and compliance documentation.
-
Fitted-out ATEX container
The fitted-out ATEX container is used in classified zones where equipment must limit ignition sources. Electrics, lighting, ventilation and instrumentation are defined according to the zone classification.
-
Open top container
The Open Top makes it easy to vertically load piping, long parts, drilling equipment or bulky materials. It suits sites equipped with a crane or overhead crane when the rear doors are not enough.
Standards
Oil and gas sector standards and regulations to comply with
-
DNV 2.7-1 / EN 12079
DNV 2.7-1 and EN 12079 govern offshore containers used for transfers between vessel and platform. They cover design, testing, marking, inspection and the documentation required for lifting operations.
-
ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU)
The ATEX directive applies to equipment used in explosive atmospheres. For a fitted-out container, the choice of electrical components, ventilation and accessories depends on the zone classification and the operating scenario.
-
ISO 14001
Environmental management approaches such as ISO 14001 require pollution risks to be controlled. Containers with containment, product separation and controlled access help structure the storage of liquids and sensitive products.
FAQ
FAQ: your questions about containers and the oil and gas industry
Find answers to the most common questions about our containers and services.
What is the difference between a standard container and a DNV 2.7-1 container?
A standard container is suited to conventional logistics uses. A DNV 2.7-1 container is designed for offshore operations with dynamic lifting, certified lifting points, structural testing and inspection documents suited to operator requirements.
What is an ATEX zone and how do you identify it?
An ATEX zone is an area where flammable gases, vapors or dust can create an explosive atmosphere. The zone classification is defined by the operator. It is this classification that determines the equipment authorized inside the fitted-out container.
Can a DNV container be rented for a short drilling campaign?
Yes, if the certificate, inspections and container availability match the campaign. Duration, the port of embarkation, weight, lifting points and required documents must be validated before booking.
What should I do if the retention tray fails during chemical product storage?
The risk of leaks must be anticipated from the design stage of the storage. The containment volume, product compatibility, absorbents, ventilation and intervention procedure depend on the liquids stored and the site's rules.
