Intertek opens new oil, gas testing lab in Abu Dhabi

ABU DHABI, May 19, 2015

Intertek, a leading quality solutions provider to industries worldwide, has opened a new laboratory in Abu Dhabi.

The facility is the first of its kind in the region for Intertek and offers integrated oil and gas testing services for its rapidly growing client base, said a statement.

Addressing increasing challenges in the exploration and production industry, the laboratory will provide the testing and expert consultancy services required to help maximise recovery and minimise risks and operational costs.

The new 15,000-sq-ft facility in Musaffah, which forms a part of Intertek’s global Exploration and Production Services, was officially opened by Sheikh Tahnoun Bin Saeed Al Nahyan.

The Abu Dhabi Technology Centre will locally conduct reservoir characterisation and formation evaluation in the exploration phase of conventional and unconventional reserves, as well as reservoir and production optimisation for existing mature concessions, said the statement.

Hussain Al-Atrakchi, regional managing director, Intertek - Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan, said: “I would like to thank Sheikh Tahnoun Bin Saeed Al Nahyan and the Government of Abu Dhabi for all the support they have extended to Intertek throughout the development of this landmark project.

“The new Abu Dhabi Technology Centre will bring cutting-edge testing equipment to the doorsteps of our regional clients, here in Abu Dhabi and throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and beyond, offering advanced testing and evaluation for the oil and gas industry.”

The laboratory, which forms part of Intertek’s Upstream Services business, consists of three interconnected buildings and houses Intertek’s resident and visiting scientists, engineers, geologists and technicians working with national and multi-national oil companies operating in the region.
