Milaha, a maritime and logistics organizations in the Middle East, has entered into a formal agreement to cooperate with a giant American oilfield services firm, Schlumberger.
The Offshore & Marine pillar of Milaha signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will support value building projects while jointly driving Tawteen initiatives for Qatar, Milaha said in a statement.
Led by Qatar Petroleum, the “Tawteen” program aims to localize the energy sector’s supply chain and create new investment opportunities to retain ‘economic value’ in Qatar.
Signed as a five-year joint development project, it will include a Qatar-owned, -flagged, and -operated Oil Well Stimulation Vessel.
The first of these vessels will be designed and outfitted in the country, creating the inaugural FLEXSTIM platform, which will be modified, owned and operated locally.
Pre-engineering for this significant scheme has already begun and will evolve during the final quarter of 2020.
The resulting Qatar-owned value chain will be a joint service that enhances the expertise of a global multinational service firm like Schlumberger as well as the Qatar-based multi-disciplined local service company like Milaha.
With over 70 years of presence in Qatar, Schlumberger supplies the petroleum industry with several key services such as seismic acquisition and processing, well testing and directional drilling, artificial lifts, well completions and groundwater extraction.
