AnTech expands in Middle East

AnTech Limited, the provider of Directional Coiled Tubing Drilling (DCTD), has appointed a Saudi agent and opened a new office in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia.

AnTech has appointed The Al-Shuwayer Group as an agent for Saudi and Bahrain, after securing significant investment from Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures and Calculus Capital in 2013. This follows on from AnTech’s expansion in the US, with the launch of its Houston office in 2013 to build on the firm’s global growth strategy.

Strategic expansion

Toni Miszewski, Managing Director, commented: “It is an exciting time of growth for AnTech and we are pleased to announce our partnership with The Al-Shuwayer Group. It is increasingly important that we are able to offer the best possible service to our clients in the Middle East, hence our strategic expansion within the region.

“AnTech has been focussing on growth within the Americas and Middle East, as well as Europe. Its staff numbers have doubled in the last year and demand for its patented products, wellhead equipment and state-of-the-art DCTD equipment continues to increase in new regions.

Oilfield experience

“Anas Al-Shuwayer, Managing Director of The Al-Shuwayer Group has over 18 years of oilfield experience and has been crucial in advancing new projects for leading companies in the oil and gas industry. Combined with AnTech’s in-house R&D team, our new Al-Khobar base will provide specialist DCTD Services which can bring significant benefits to operators The Kingdom.”
