What led you to decide in favour of exhibiting at ADIPEC 2016?
Reaching the international and regional oil and gas professionals, who are involved in both the technical and non-technical functions within the industry, is the prime agenda for Al-Bahar participating in ADIPEC with Caterpillar®. We intend to exhibit our strong commitment, market leader¬ship, and customer service. ADIPEC offers us an unrivalled platform to come together, share knowledge, and meet with industry experts from an approximately 120 countries.
What are the main products/services that you are looking to highlight at ADIPEC? Talk about those in detail.
We have several key focus areas, one of which being Gas Field Development. Together with Caterpillar® and their Gas Treatment Partner GTUIT we are showcasing on site solutions to gas treatment, harnessing associated gas and utilising it through power genera¬tion for a variety of applications such as Compression, Well Service, Drilling and Production.
Utilising associated gas provides operator’s considerable cost savings while also reducing the need to flare gas, so it’s a win win.
Another key focus of the stand is that of connected assets. From Cat® Connect to Advanced Condition Monitoring solutions, we are showing where operators can improve uptime, which in turn reduces operational costs. We will be having live demos throughout the exhibition days, to which we invite the audience to see first-hand the advantages this technology provides.
What are your business objectives for ADIPEC this year?
We will be meeting valued customers and partners to explore areas where we can help optimise their operations. With an ever-increasing focus on operational costs, uptime, and safety we must work together, to develop solutions that help our customers succeed in this regard. Considering our agenda for this ADIPEC, we intend to communicate more about Cat® Connect and its benefits to our customers especially for the Oil and Gas segment.
How successful do you think ADIPEC will be this year?
ADIPEC grows each year and we attend alongside Caterpillar. A platform that offers collaboration at this level is a success in itself. ADIPEC provides a great forum to meet our customers, share ideas and explore areas we can utilise the latest advances in technology to provide the best solutions.
How has business for your company been this year? What are your plans and goals for 2017?
The low oil price period has driven a key focus on cost efficiency and optimisation. We have found that through leveraging different fuel sources and connecting assets, our customers can take advantage of the cost savings and improved uptime that our offerings bring. Times ahead have always been hopeful, and when we look at the region poised for development, we are sure to see much more enabled tomorrows. Al-Bahar along with our partner Caterpillar plans to enable businesses reach growth optimally and collaboratively.
