What business does your company do within the oil and gas industry?
Alderley are market leaders in the supply of bespoke engineering packages for custody transfer/fiscal measurement solutions, produced water treatment solutions, hydraulic onshore and offshore control systems and skid mounted package units from their manufacturing facilities in Jebel Ali, UAE, Dammam, Saudi Arabia and headquarters in the UK.
Where in the Middle East are you most active, and how do you wish to expand your reach in the region?
Alderley is in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. We are expanding our facility capabilities in Saudi Arabia and the ‘new’ Iranian market presents a great opportunity for us going forward as we already have a strong installed based in the region.
Who are some of your clients in the region, and what projects are you working on now?
We have developed strong relationships with Saudi Aramco, Kuwait Oil Company, Kuwait National Petroleum Co, RasGas, Gazprom Neft, Gasco, ADCO, Qatar Petroleum, QatarGas as well as international EPCs such as Petrofac, JGC, Saipem, Fluor, Daelim, Tecnicas Reunidas.
The team is currently in the process of executing different metering packages for the Jazan Refinery and Terminal Project, KNPC Clean Fuels project in Kuwait, Master Gas Phase I Project and Truck loading systems for the Jubail Bulk Plant in Saudi Arabia.
How successful do you think ADIPEC will be this year, considering the downturn in the industry?
ADIPEC is one of the biggest exhibitions in the oil and gas industry and we do not believe this would be hugely affected by the lower oil prices; however we might notice less international footfall as international exhibitors, delegates, and companies may consider reduced travel as well as investment spend.
How has business been for your company this year? What are your plans and goals for 2017?
Business has been good this year and our pipeline remains healthy. Going into 2017, Alderley is gearing up for growth in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia having recently secured a new facility. The new facility located in 2nd Industrial City in Dammam, a total of 9025m², will have four times the manufacturing capacity of their existing site in Dammam. Alderley is recognised for top engineering and the manufacturing of metering and control systems. To date Alderley provide services to the 122 liquid metering systems and 72 gas metering systems installed across the Kingdom.
This substantial investment in new facilities, demonstrates Alderley’s ongoing commitment to further strengthen local Saudi manufacturing and play their role in contributing to Saudi Aramco’s In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) Programme.
