Weir Oil & Gas consolidates Mideast presence with Iraq deal
DUBAI, May 12, 2020
Weir Oil & Gas Dubai has signed a multi-year contract in Iraq with a major international oil company to provide its workshop services, machine shop services, emergency manufacturing and maintaining the customer’s well operations.
A positive past and existing contract performance with the said international oil company, Weir Oil & Gas’ capabilities in Iraq, local content, in-house engineering, API and OEM certifications and a comprehensive international facility near the customer’s sites were deciding factors in the deal.
The strategic agreement further consolidates Weir’s Rig to Grid capabilities in the Middle East and will see Weir as a key player for this client and allow Weir to expand their portfolio in this specific oil field.
In the Eastern Hemisphere region, Weir Oil & Gas provides an off-the-shelf range of products as well as customised wellhead solutions designed to meet unique specifications. The company provides in-country service and support through Centers of Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence, which allow the company to manufacture and distribute wellhead equipment quicker due to its proximity to customers in the region.
Weir Oil & Gas is focused on leveraging its pressure control and oilfield services offerings in order to be the preferred supplier of pressure containment products and services for drilling and production customers in the Middle East, assuring best-in-class quality, delivery and responsiveness.
The company’s operations and maintenance offerings lead the industry in maintenance process optimization services for brownfield/greenfield oil and gas, power and industrial facilities, streamlining maintenance costs and reducing total cost of ownership.
Weir Oil & Gas’ RE/Turbo machinery offers brownfield rotating equipment solutions to increase asset life and reduce cost of ownership.
