Abu Dhabi-based NMDC Energy, a leading provider of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for offshore and onshore energy clients, has signed a second partnership with Baker Hughes, the US global energy technology company, to work in Saudi Arabia.
The new collaboration aims to increase the localisation of Baker Hughes products and solutions in the Kingdom, serving energy markets across the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey and India (MENATI).
Baker Hughes will leveraging NMDC’s state-of-the-art facilities, specifically its yards capabilities in Saudi Arabia, and will focus on offshore products and associated services. This will include an Emergency Pipeline Repair System (EPRS) project, alongside a logistics base associated with solutions for offshore flexible pipeline systems to serve Saudi and the wider markets.
The new MoU is separate to an earlier one between the two companies, which relates to gas technology products.
Ahmed Al Dhaheri, Chief Executive Officer of NMDC Energy, said: “NMDC Energy’s fabrication capabilities have drawn global players, particularly leading entities such as Baker Hughes, who share our vision of finding synergies that meet the evolving energy sector demands in the wider MENATI region. As a strategic enabler of Saudi Arabia’s energy sector through global partnerships, NMDC Energy is committed to finding new pathways towards increased localisation in the Kingdom, supporting economic growth, job creation, and diversification.”
Earlier this year, NMDC Energy inaugurated its advanced fabrication facilities in the strategically located Ras Al Khair Special Economic Zone. The 400,000 square meter fabrication yard is designed to serve both offshore and onshore projects, with an annual production capacity of 40,000 tons. The facility is equipped with advanced automation and digital systems and delivers full-spectrum fabrication, rigging, maintenance, and modularisation services for complex energy infrastructure.
