UK-based Element Materials Technology, a global leader in testing, inspection and certification services has been selected as an approved supplier for Saudi Aramco, the largest petroleum and natural gas company in the world.

The Element Milan laboratory has been approved to perform hydrogen induced corrosion (HIC) testing for the global conglomerate and all of its supply chain partners. The Milan facility joins Element’s four other laboratories in Abu Dhabi (UAE), Amsterdam (Europe), Dudley (UK) and Houston (USA) that are approved by Saudi Aramco to perform HIC testing

Matt Hopkinson, EVP for Oil & Gas and Infrastructure said: ‘’We are extremely proud of this achievement. As the biggest global company operating in the oil & gas sector, Saudi Aramco demands the highest level of expertise from its testing partners.”

“With over 100 years’ experience in the sector, Element has a proven track record in consistently delivering on-time, accurate test results and helping to minimize risk for its clients. The fact that five out of the nine laboratories in the world approved to conduct HIC testing for Saudi Aramco are part of Element is very telling of our position as a leading provider of oil & gas testing services,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
