“The opening of our office in the UAE capital effectively means that we can support all the national oil companies in Abu Dhabi for both engineering and oilfield services related work. I would like to thank the authorities for their support in helping establish our office and obtaining all the necessary approvals,” says Reuben Segal, director – Middle East, Aqualis Offshore. Segal highlights project marine warranty, field installations, engineering design, engineering warranty, construction supervision, and rig moving for jackups as the Abu Dhabi office’s main fields of work.


“Abu Dhabi hosts a number of significant oil industry players such as the national oil companies as well as the GPC and NPCC construction and fabrication yards. Our objective is to provide competence and manpower to support all of them,” says Reuben Segal.
