Sector analysis How can I participate in the expanding oil and gas sector in Oman? Oman is the largest oil and natural gas producer in the Middle East that is not a member of OPEC. Like most countries across the Middle East it is highly dependent on its hydrocarbon sector. However, the country has faced a number of challenges, the two most important being that its reserves tend to be hard to recover, and introducing suitable policies to satisfy a young and welleducated population. On the first point, the country is a world leader in embracing ever-improving methods of enhanced oil recovery while at the same time investing heavily in the whole oil and gas value chain in order to improve revenues that can be directed towards satisfying the second aforementioned challenge. Oman has been one of the first markets to successfully implement a localisation programme whereby expatriate workers have been gradually replaced by Omani nationals. This has been achieved by introducing a number of labour laws that favour the local population. In addition, the government has studied how the supply chain as a whole is structured and have come up with a unique method that intentionally improves the efficiency of the localisation programme. The oil and gas sector is regulated by the Ministry of Oil and Gas while the main operator is Petroleum Development who along with a number of international oil companies form the mainstay of the sector as far as production and distribution are concerned. Back in 2012, the ministry took a view that if the supply chain could be ‘Omanised’ as much as possible, then that would see an increased degree of Omani participation in the country’s main bread winner sector. To achieve this, they collaborated with a specialist IT company called Business Gateways to set up two platforms: the National Business Framework (NBF) and the Joint Supplier Registration System (JSRS). By introducing these platforms across the whole supply chain, the ministry was able to kill two birds with one stone and issued a decree that saw all operators and any other active elements within the sector being advised to amend their procurement policies by making sure they embrace both the NBF and JSRS as a one stop shop for their requirements.

Terry W illis

The NBF covers the registration and prequalification of local Omani companies while the JSRS is responsible for non-Omani entities who wish to participate in the Omani oil and gas sector. This has recently been extended to include the majority of other sectors as well. As stated on the Business Gateways’ website: ‘The NBF is not just a B2B platform, it also supports companies to connect with various governmental bodies to help them govern their business better. The two way communication platform enables the governmental body and your company to benefit from direct mentoring of your business needs. All companies go through a due diligence process of standard verification procedures to ensure only “active” companies are registered on this platform.’ It goes on to say that ‘registering on the JSRS connects companies to Oman’s prime buyer community in addition to its 20 oil and gas operators.’ So, with the above in mind, one might ask the question, ‘Is it all worth it?’ To answer this question, let’s take a look at EICDataStream. If one looks back just four months, in the oil and gas sector (upstream, midstream and downstream) we can see 17 active projects worth a total of US$17.116bn while on the power and renewables side, we can see 12 projects worth a total of US$5.148bn. This makes a total of US$36.264bn to be spent within the next three to five years. To conclude then, for anybody wishing to participate in this very active market, please visit the Business Gateways website at www.businessgateways.com and start the process. The EIC has already engaged with them on a number of occasions and we can assure you that they are there to help and assist any company new to the process which is now compulsory for any organisation wishing to do business in Oman.

Inside this issue... This month’s issue of Inside Energy opens with one last sector analysis (opposite) from our recently retired Middle East Director Terry Willis, who put pen to paper just before heading off to enjoy his retirement. Terry’s article provides some great insights into how to break into the Oman market – the largest nonOPEC oil and gas producer in the Middle East region. Taking over the reins from Terry is Ryan McPherson, who writes his first EIC Middle East update on page 20. A lot of our local members will have already met Ryan, as he’s hit the ground running taking part in the recent overseas delegation to Nigeria and Terry’s final EIC event, the ever-popular EIC Middle East golf tournament, where Driver Trett took home the trophy. Ryan and the EIC Dubai team are now working hard on EIC Connect Oil, Gas & Beyond which returns to Abu Dhabi on 16 April. Every year it attracts some of the most senior figures from the region’s biggest companies. ADNOC’s In Country Value Programme Manager Ali Foolathi came to last year’s event, while the 2017 edition made worldwide headlines as the UAE Ministry of Energy His Excellency Suhail Al Mazrouei officially opened the conference and exhibition. To find out more about this year’s event please visit: www.the-eic.com/ EICConnect/OilGasBeyondUAE On page 4 we profile Advanced Insulation’s MD Andrew Bennion, who talks about the company’s approach to innovation. Something which is clearly working, as they were winners of the Innovation Award at last years’ EIC National Awards Dinner, scooping the prize for their MS400 phenolic foam panels, which can reduce topside weight by up to 50% and enhances fire protection, thermal insulation and blast resistance. If you’re an EIC member and you want to be in the running for an award this year, if couldn’t be easier. Simply send a short email (no more than 200 words) to our CEO Stuart Broadly (stuart.broadley@the-eic.com) telling him how your company has grown by using one or more of the following strategies: Collaboration, Digital, Diversification, Export, Innovation, Optimisation, Service and solutions, Technology. Tickets are now on sale for the EIC National Awards 2019, taking place on 3 October in London and featuring entertainment from comedian and television presenter Dara Ó Briain. Reserve your table by visiting www.the-eic.com/ Events/EICNationalAwardsDinner You might have noticed on the cover that our logo has changed ever so slightly. After creating a special 75th logo to celebrate our anniversary last year, we decided now was the right to time to refresh our existing logo. You’ll see the colour and font have changed a little bit, so it’s brighter and reproduces better in print and digitally, and we’ve added our full name, Energy industries Council, around the border – we hope you like it!

One-to-one with Andrew

Bennion MD Advanced Insulation

Advanced Insulation is a multi-discipline global leader in the provision of safety critical products for the offshore and onshore oil and gas industry. With customers operating in ever more challenging environments, its expertise is focused on developing innovative products and solutions that improve the safety and efficiency of the installation. In addition to the design, supply, installation and commissioning of its insulation and passive fire protection systems the company also has significant capability in buoyancy and SURF products and insulation jackets. To support its global operations, the company has manufacturing facilities at three sites within the UK and in Brazil, Kazakhstan, South Korea and the UAE.

AI won the EIC Innovation Award last year for its MS400 product, can you tell our readers about it?

The development of ContraFlame® MS400 was driven by operators required to reduce the weight of their topside installation. The weight of topside structures is becoming a critical factor as operators venture into deeper and harsher environments. Therefore, developing a product that could significantly reduce the weight of the underdeck of the topside structure without reducing the fire protection effectiveness was incredibly important to the industry – using MS400 saw the topside weight reduce by 120 tonnes in the Mariner project.

You’ve also won three Queen’s Awards for Innovation. What makes AI a leading innovator?

We’re obviously delighted to win awards and it’s great for our employees to have the recognition, but our primary focus has always been to develop products and solutions that improve the safety and efficiency of our customers’ installations.

As an SME we’re flexible and able to respond quickly to challenges that our customers need help to solve today

by switching resources to a specific project – this approach often results in something quite innovative being developed.

Our continuous investment in R&D of up to 10% per annum, ensures that we always have new products in development. We’re not afraid to take risks, but always measure this against our overall business objectives.

Most recently you won the EEF Health and Safety award. How did you land this latest accolade?

We launched our health and safety initiative to ensure that all our employees and visitors went home safely every day. We already had a good health and safety record within our business but wanted to drive this towards world-class levels and achieve the best possible standards in this area.

This award recognises the huge effort and commitment of our global workforce to adopt the principles contained within our Think Safe, Act Safe, Be Safe initiative. Without the support from our entire workforce, to follow our safety principles, we would not have achieved such a significant reduction in H&S incidents.

What would surprise our readers about AI?

We’re not just experts in providing passive fire protection products for the oil and gas industry, we’re also experts in the leisure industry! Advanced Insulation is the parent company for Hippo Leisure which works with leisure centre managers helping them to transform their pool areas into interactive play areas, helping to increase the activity levels of users. What’s more, some of these products are manufactured using the same materials as our buoyancy products.

What do the next 12-18 months have in store?

This is an exciting and key time for us as a business – we will continue to invest in R&D, our people and look to develop the right products. We can see the benefits to our customers of providing products and solutions that work in a range of environments and provide a range of critical protection products. I’m excited to see two of the products we have been developing enter the final stage of testing before release. I believe our intumescent passive fire protection FlexiChar is a game changer for the industry. With the number of LNG plant projects growing, our cryogenic spill protection products perform exceptionally well in this application and could grow substantially.

HMi Elements appoint new MD

Specialist hazardous area computer manufacturer HMi Elements has appointed Paul Royston as its new Managing Director.

Churchill Drilling Tools

Royston joins the firm from the Pexion Group where he was Divisional Managing Director of five businesses, including Knaresborough-based precision engineering firm Claro.

The increase in demand was triggered after the tool was run in the world’s deepest (4,650 metres) and hottest (427°C) geothermal borehole in the Iceland Deep Drilling project (IDDP) in 2017. The DAV MX™ CircSub was selected on the recommendation of a major operator and partner for the IDDP due to its robust temperature resistance and experience in high-pressure high-temperature conventional wells.

He brings with him over three decades of engineering and manufacturing experience across a range of industries including oil and gas, which will improve HMi’s production process, product development and overall company profitability. Malton-based HMi supplies ‘Applestyle’ technology to the oil and gas industry all over the world. Its computers are used by some of the industry’s biggest companies including Baker Hughes, National Oilwell Varco and Canrig. HMi owner and Chairman, Howard Gould, said, ‘I am delighted to welcome Paul to the business at this crucial time. We have targeted 20% growth this year and Paul’s appointment is a key one in helping us achieve that target.’

Lloyd’s Register supports Peregrino project offshore Brazil

Norway’s Equinor is using technical expertise from Lloyd’s Register (LR) to lead a safety study assessment for the second phase of the Peregrino oil field offshore Brazil. Equinor and Sinochem are joint field owners with Equinor being the operator with a 60% interest in the asset. This second phase, which includes the addition of a third wellhead platform, is expected to be developed at a cost of US$3.5bn and will start production by the end of 2020. Joar Dalheim, LR’s Project Manager, said, ‘It is great to continue our involvement with the Peregrino field and with Equinor as a key client. Our work will help ensure there are efficient barriers against fatalities, environmental spills and financial losses.’ Peregrino is a heavy oil field 85km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro in water depths of around 100 metres. It has been developed with an FPSO and two wellhead platforms and is Equinor’s biggest operated oil field outside Norway with a production capacity of 100,000 barrels per day.

For more information: www.lr.org

Since then operators have run the DAV MX™ CircSub 11 times in geothermal wells, activating the tool on 13 occasions. This included a challenging onshore geothermal well in the Netherlands where the operator, running two DAV MX™ CircSubs, was able to boost annular velocity and optimise its hole cleaning process, not only increasing the volume of cuttings returns but also reducing the time to transport the cuttings to surface by around 75%.

Major advances in refinery projects across Europe

In Croatia, INA Industrija Nafte DD has approved its three-year plan to upgrade the 90,000bbl/d Rijeka refinery at a cost of US$617m. Bilfinger secured two major contracts for ongoing refinery projects: a €36m EPC contract from Trans Europa Naturgas Pipeline for a deodorisation plant between Germany and Switzerland, and a maintenance and repair services framework agreement with Teknokon for Tupras’ Izmir Refinery in Turkey. Ineos has chosen Antwerp as the site for its proposed €3bn petrochemical complex featuring a grassroots ethane cracker and propane dehydrogenation unit.

Wylfa Newydd nuclear power plant project shelved

Horizon Nuclear Power, a subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd has decided to halt a major 3,000MW nuclear power project in Wylfa Newydd, Wales. After years of discussions with the UK government, Hitachi finally confirmed that a funding agreement cannot be made. Toshiba has also abandoned the Moorside nuclear plant project and Hitachi is now planning to suspend its Oldbury nuclear project. Hitachi has declared that nationalisation of the Wylfa project is the only way it could be revived, which would require the government to take a majority stake in the business.

Middle East news Regional update

I am delighted to take up my new role with the EIC, effective from January, and look forward to building on the tremendous work carried out to date by Terry and the team. Having Ryan M cPhers on known Terry for a number of years I am extremely honoured to be following in his footsteps. The support he has provided in helping me integrate into the team has been invaluable and he leaves me the task of replacing an industry stalwart with a network of contacts second to none. I have spent the last eight years living and working in the region, for a similar organisation led body (ITF) and latterly with an SME where I was able to successfully secure several contracts across the region. I will aim to utilise this experience in order to assist EIC members to the best of my ability. Hitting the ground running, week one in the role allowed me to accompany our trade delegation to Nigeria which was a tremendous success with over 30 meetings undertaken over the course of the week highlighting several potential opportunities and providing further insight into the energy market in the country. With only a few months to go, our signature EIC Connect event on 16 April is taking shape. The latest updates are available on our website. This event has achieved a tremendous amount of positive feedback over the years and has become a ‘must attend’: www.the-eic.com/EICConnect/OilGasBeyondUAE Our pavilion at ADIPEC is now sold out some eight months in advance which is testament to the size and scale of this event, now firmly established as the number one oil and gas show in the calendar. We will also be exhibiting at Middle East Electricity, 5-7 March, in Dubai. This event continues to have a focus on the power and renewables sectors showcasing the wide reach of our membership.

Mexico approves new upstream strategy

Pemex’s board of directors has approved a new contracting strategy to develop 20 new oil fields without a bidding round; circumventing the tendering process established by Mexico’s energy reform. Under the restricted invitation model, three companies will be invited to bid. The fields will be separated into one onshore and four offshore groups with contracting activity taking place until late-April 2019. All of the offshore fields are in shallow waters and have combined reserves of 400MMboe – primarily light crude oil.
