10/5/23, 5:15 PM MRDS Group on track for strong year
commitment to delivering efficient services to stakeholders. The API Q2 specification represents the
first-ever quality management system (QMS) certification for service supply organisations in the oil and

gas industry.

Under the leadership of Ian McGillivray, Managing Director, Marc Currie, Operations Director, and

Ryan Coats, Sales Director, the company’s UAE branch has transformed from a team of UK-based
engineers to a multinational team of highly skilled engineers, and plans to hire more local talents in

order to enhance the firm’s scope of services. This strategic move has resulted in several major
contracts with international drilling contractors and national oil companies. With the aim of becoming
the leading aftermarket service provider for drilling equipment in Abu Dhabi, MRDS has also signed a
contract with Al Yaseah, who will serve as an agent to support the company’s growth within Abu Dhabi

specifically.

Ian McGillivray expressed his optimism, stating, “The MRDS Group is well-positioned to seize the
opportunities presented by the MENA region’s oilfield services market, which is projected to reach USD
41.73 billion in the next five years. We believe that the ongoing development of the market offers a

range of expansion possibilities that we can capitalise on to deliver favourable results.”

“Since opening our state-of-the-art facility in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone in 2021, MRDS Group has

experienced significant growth in our customer base, allowing us to support international clients across
the UK, Middle East, West Africa, and Indonesia. With a strong lineup of new agreements, the API Q2
accreditation, and our partnership with the Energy Industries Council (EIC) as a gold sponsor, we are

poised to further steer growth in the MENA region’s energy sector,” he added.

MRDS Group has been collaborating with both international drilling contractors and national oil

companies in the UAE, demonstrating its commitment to strategic growth in the region. The group
offers a comprehensive portfolio of services for various vessels, including drilling platforms, jack-ups,

turbine installation vessels, semi-submersibles, drill ships, and land-based rigs. With a senior
management team offering over 100 years of combined experience, MRDS Group leads a competent
workforce of skilled engineers and technicians specialising in mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical
work.

With field service technicians operating across the Middle East, support for special periodic surveys

(SPS), equipment recertification projects, equipment installation and commissioning, as well as
troubleshooting, MRDS is recognised as an industry leader, both regionally and internationally. With a
strong emphasis on quality, innovation, and customer focus, MRDS Group is well-positioned to take

advantage of the energy potential in the region and expand its global reach. The group’s pipeline of
projects for 2023 and 2024 further promises a bright future, as it continues to exceed clients’
expectations at every turn.
