ADIPEC Preview: Trans Asia Pipeline

Interviewee: Surendranath Dhanekula, Managing Director, Trans Asia Pipeline Services FZC

What business does the company do within the oil and gas industry?

Headquartered in the UAE, Trans Asia is leading provider of pipeline, process and specialty services to the oil, gas and petrochemical sector. Trans Asia comprises of a team of more than 300 specialists and has a presence in 12 countries around the middle east and Asia, meeting needs across pre-commissioning and commissioning activities.

We have started focussing on a range of process and speciality services since last couple of years and are providing process services to the industry such as chemical cleaning, oil flushing, nitrogen helium leak testing, flange management etc. This year we have added hot tapping as our latest service line in partnership with PTS UK and very soon we will have locally available hot tapping equipment and resources.

We wish to be an integrated service provider and will be able to provide integrated pipeline services all across from pigging to inspections and testing, maintenance of existing pipelines, emergency pipeline repairs, etc.

Who are your client, and what oil and gas projects have you been – or are you – involved in?

Although the bulk of our services are offered to the major national and international EPC contractors on their various projects, we also work directly with the international oil and gas majors as well as National Oil Companies for some of their service requirements.

Typically, with most of the projects, we are associated with our clients from the bidding stage itself. Receiving repeat clients on a regular basis, the longevity of positive relationships formed in the sector have already reaped rewards at the beginning of 2016 via the attainment of a project in the Middle East alongside one the largest national oil majors.

Presently we are working on quite a few jobs in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and India. We have just commenced work on our maiden Qatar project.

What are you are looking to showcase at ADIPEC?

We will be showcasing our complete suite of service capabilities through ADIPEC 2016. The main focus of course would be to be considered as a one stop solution provider for all the service needs of our clients. We will be highlighting our latest service offering of hot tapping and line stopping, as well as a few process related services.

What are your objectives for ADIPEC this year, and how do you hope to generate business during the exhibition?

ADIPEC is a global event with participation from most of the world wide companies in the oil and gas space and has being going from strength to strength every year. We are hoping that we will be able to introduce our services to a lot of new clients as well as generate a number of enquiries.

With optimisation being the buzzword, we expect the ADIPEC to provide a range of innovative solutions for better resource management in terms of manpower, equipment and facilities.
