STATS Group, provider of specialist engineering services for the maintenance, integrity and repair of oil, gas and petrochemical installations and infrastructure, has strengthened its Qatari operation, recently recruiting additional project engineers and technicians as the company continues to create significant in-country value
The company has established a strong reputation for its market leading technology in Qatar with significant awards for the supply of pipeline isolation and intervention equipment to major Qatari operators as part of their Emergency Pipeline Repair Systems (EPRS).
The equipment, which is stored in Qatar, is in a state of readiness for pre-planned and emergency situations and offers a safe double block isolation solution to carry out effective repairs to both subsea and onshore pipelines, with the additional significant benefit of supporting clients progress towards their sustainability goals by reducing the need to depressurise or flare large volumes of inventory.
Ongoing investment over the last decade in establishing international bases has been key to STATS’ global success.
STATS Group CEO Leigh Howarth said, “Our strong performance in 2020 was largely due to continued investment in international infrastructure which has established responsive regionalised management teams and localised workforces close to key markets, including Qatar.”
Vikas Shangari, general manager for STATS Qatar, added, “Building on the solid foundation we have put in place over the years, our broadening of the team’s capability will ensure we have the human resource, technical skills, and ability to deploy quickly, to satisfy this demand.”
