Aqualis Offshore wins Middle East work
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Aqualis Offshore has bagged three new contract awards for the company’s Middle East offices. Contract values are undisclosed.
The company’s Dubai office has entered into an agreement with ONGC to provide the oil company with rig moving and marine warranty services offshore India. The initial contract is for nine months, with options to renew it for further twelve month periods.
Aqualis Offshore has also secured an award from an undisclosed client for providing detailed engineering for the conversion of two jackup rigs into mobile offshore production units (MOPUs). Its Dubai office will manage one of the projects while the company’s Houston office will lead the other MOPU conversion.
The third deal is an annual call-out contract between Aqualis Offshore’s Abu Dhabi office and Total for work at the Abu Al Bukhoosh field in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The scope of work includes marine inspections, rig moving and general marine services.
“The Middle East is still the world’s biggest oil and gas market. Building up a strong presence here has therefore been a priority for us, because it puts us in a position where we can compete for jobs like these,” says Reuben Segal, director Middle East, Aqualis Offshore.
In mid-September, Aqualis Offshore announced that it will provide offshore rig moving services over the next three years for Saudi Aramco’s jackup rigs operating in the Arabian Gulf.
