Indian hydrocarbon sector going global

UAE is a focus area for Engineers India Limited's operations in the Middle East

Engineers India Limited (EIL) is a 'total solutions' engineering consultancy that provides design, engineering, procurement, construction and integrated project management services from 'concept to commissioning' with highest quality and safety standards.
Established in 1965, the company's track record comprises 60 refineries including 10 greenfield ones, nine petrochemical complexes, 39 oil and gas processing projects, over 40 offshore process platforms, 42 pipeline projects, 13 ports and storage and terminals projects, eight fertiliser projects, and 29 mining and metallurgy projects.
Sanjay Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director, EIL, says: "We are now not only self-reliant in many critical areas of engineering and technology in the midstream and downstream segments of hydrocarbon value chain, we also have world-class expertise and the know-how to execute any complex and challenging project across the globe."
EIL has leveraged its strong track record in the Indian hydrocarbon sector to successfully expand operations internationally. Over the years, the company has emerged as a global player with the execution of a number of prestigious assignments for international energy majors in the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia.
With an extensive track record of consultancy assignments for the Abu Dhabi National Oil Group of Companies (ADNOC), the UAE is a focus area for EIL's operations in the Middle East. The company has strengthened its Abu Dhabi office to develop it as an engineering hub to provide services to its clients for hydrocarbon, water and waste water and infrastructure segments in the Middle East.
This engineering hub will be a 'one-stop shop' for all its current and prospective clients in the region. These focused efforts have started to yield positive results with the Abu Dhabi office securing a flurry of significant orders in the current year from clients in the Middle East. These orders are from oil and gas companies as well as through EPC contractors for providing engineering services.
EIL has earned recognition for jobs executed in Kuwait and Bahrain for oil and gas giants like Equate, KNPC, Bapco, Banagas, etc. Its expansion plans in the region received a major impetus with a PMC contract secured from Oman Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company for its Liwa Plastics Project in Sohar, Oman, against stiff competitive bidding from international consultants.
EIL has been providing services for various refinery and gas processing projects in North Africa, particularly in Algeria for Sonatrach, since 1978. A recent prominent milestone in Africa is the award of EPCM/PMC services for a 460,000-BPSD refinery and 600,000-TPA polypropylene plant from Dangote Oil Refining Company in Nigeria.
In the fertiliser sector, EIL has successfully executed assignments for Indorama and Brass Fertilizers in Nigeria and is currently executing projects for Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation (BCIC) and Panca Amara Utama, Indonesia.
As part of its global expansion strategy, EIL is focusing on the Middle East and Africa to capitalise on its experience, establish contacts with clients and suppliers and familiarity with local working conditions. The company is also identifying strategic partners whose resources, capabilities and strategies are complementary and likely to enhance its business operations in these regions.
With its extensive and strong track record, robust performance and value addition capabilities, EIL is well set to provide cost and operational advantages to its clients in any region of the world.
