Strategically situated at the
mouth of the Gulf, facing the Arabian Sea, Oman is the oldest independent state
in the Arab world. Since the 20th century, like other Gulf States, Oman has benefited
hugely from its oil and gas industry, although it maintains a relatively
diverse economy with income from agriculture, industry and a rapidly-growing
tourist trade. In 2012 its capital, Muscat, was named second-best city to visit
in the world by Lonely Planet.
In the last two years Oman has become a regular destination
for A&E management and technical personnel during the development of its
partnership with 3D Engineering Services, working in the oil, gas, processing
and power industries. Although a relatively new company, 3D Engineering Services
draws on a wealth of strategic and operational experience in the successful
delivery of engineering projects in Oman. So far, the partnership has seen
three projects completed for Oman Gas using Alocit coatings and both Alocit and
Enviropeel projects are in the pipeline for the future.
As part of its strategy for the
future of Enviropeel in the region, plans are well advanced for the completion
of an Enviropeel batching unit for 3D, based on successful models already
operating in the UK and the USA. By providing a local manufacturing facility
able to respond instantly to local demand, the facility will be a major step
towards establishing Enviropeel in the region.
A&E personnel have also been working with Hyundai in Oman on repair strategies for wave damage to coatings on a large offshore SBM storage facility. Alocit was recommended as it could be used without the use of a dry dock.
