OptaSense, a QinetiQ company specialising in Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), has entered an agency agreement with Abu Dhabi’s Gulf Automation Services and Oilfield Supplies (GASOS)
The new deal will see OptaSense’s Oil Field Services division cover upstream activity including well completion, production and evaluation, Optasense revealed.
OptaSense’s infrastructure security monitoring division will support downstream activity, mainly related to pipeline integrity monitoring.
“We have high optimism and expectations that our combined technical capabilities and award-winning DAS solutions, with the in-depth market expertise of GASOS, will yield great benefits and efficiency gains for our clients in the UAE, particularly given the current low oil price,” said James Pollard, CEO of OptaSense.
Also commenting on the new partnership, Samir Al Gharbi, general manager of GASOS Ltd stated, “We at GASOS are delighted to be associated with and represent a well-established high-tech company who has an impressive and proven track record.
