They signed a long-term agreement with i-Energy, a leading Saudi Arabian energy services company, as part of a full-country startup business plan and large-scale commitment. The agreement involves complete operational asset and field support, including Wellpro Group’s industry-leading downhole tools, such as thru tubing and inflatable packers, in addition to best-in-class well intervention services. This expansion will result in the initial creation of ten jobs in Saudi Arabia. Mark Fraser, Wellpro Group’s Middle East region manager said, “The Saudi Arabian oil and gas market remains one of the biggest in the world, and it has been a long-term ambition for Wellpro Group to enter it. Our agreement with i-Energy provides the ideal platform for us to showcase the benefits we can bring to the Saudi Arabian thru tubing, inflatable, and intervention market by supplying safe, cost-effective solutions and services coupled with innovative cutting-edge technology.” This is a milestone in Wellpro Group’s ambitious international growth plans. Already fully operational in the Middle East for almost two years, the company has a regional workshop in Dubai and is growing its presence in the Asian market. In 2020, Wellpro Group announced a collaborative agreement with Inflatable Packers International, a leading manufacturer of inflatable technology to the gas and oil industry, to enhance its existing portfolio of products and services first in the Middle East with full exclusivity in Saudi Arabia. Wellpro Group CEO Jim Thomson said, “Having already established a strong foothold in the Middle East, expansion into Saudi Arabia was a logical next step for us. We’ve identified significant opportunities in the Kingdom for our quality products, and believe our vastly experienced personnel will be able to save our clients valuable time and money in solving their most complex thru tubing, inflatable, and intervention challenges.” Forming in February 2018, Wellpro Group’s focus is on providing service, rental, and sales of market-leading tools and technologies covering all intervention services. They design, manufacture, and test thru tubing and inflatable packers for challenging and nonroutine operations. With a core team of experienced and knowledgeable personnel, intervention expertise is strengthened by in-house design engineers. This allows the company to maintain a high level of customer service, quality, reliability, and quick turnaround service. Mark Fraser, Wellpro Group’s Middle East region manager. G&O
