What business does your company do within the oil and gas industry.
Emerson provides end-to-end automation solutions across the oil and gas industry. Our technologies measure, control, optimise, and reduce risk in onshore and offshore production facilities, gas processing, and LNG sites, tank farms and terminals.
These technologies are backed by a comprehensive set of capabilities including consulting, engineering and design, project execution, start-up and commissioning support, maintenance, reliability services, training, and other lifecycle services. All of these help our customers to reduce their operational costs, extend the life of their assets, and improve production.
Where in the Middle East are you most active, and what expansion plans do you have for the region?
Emerson has significant installed base across the Middle East, and it is growing in all of the countries of the GCC, as well as Iraq. We are increasing our local presence in the region, making investments to put support and manufacturing capabilities closer to our customers by investing in new facilities, expanding our capabilities and services, and growing our local workforce.
Who are some of your clients, and what oil and gas projects have you been involved in recently?
We work with national and international oil and gas companies in implementing solutions covering the entire automation scope, spanning control and safety systems, plant asset management, operations management, instrumentation, and final control elements, solenoids, and pneumatics. Our project services help our customers to keep their projects on-time, on-budget, and on-schedule, while our lifecycle services ensure that our customers get the support that they need, when and where they need it, in a matter of hours or even minutes.
Recently, we completed a project with Saudi Aramco, where we performed an upgrade of the control and safety systems in the Abqaiq Plants facility, the largest oil processing facility in the world. This successful hot cutover project was completed two months ahead of schedule, and was highly commended at the O&GME Awards 2016.
