It has been a pleasure to support ADS Services with their Middle East business expansion led by Charlie Orbell, President & CEO based in the US.  Hugh was delighted to meet new team member Jim Bisset, Director of Sales & Marketing at ADS Services who has recently joined the team in the UAE.  

Founded in 2017, ADS has established a highly skilled team of pressure control professionals to deliver premium and innovative managed pressure drilling and well control solutions to the oil and gas industry. Based in Texas, the Company has a presence in the key US shale plays and provides products and services for the offshore and international markets. ADS recently opened the industry’s first managed pressure drilling technical training school, at its Odessa, TX manufacturing facility. The Company partnered with Black Bay Energy Capital in 2017 to expand its product suite and customer base, with particular emphasis on growth in the high-pressure drilling markets in the Permian Basin. 
 
HFI was delighted this month to introduce HFI’s “Establishing a Middle East Regional Presence” eGuidebook.  The eGuidebook explores the benefits of setting up a DMCC free-zone company. The DMCC free zone is now recognised as a world-class cluster of energy sector companies adjacent to some of the largest energy producing nations and energy consuming markets in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia. DMCC companies are used increasingly as regional hub group entities and, in this context, we provide specialist consulting, licensing, registration and compliance services through the full life-cycle from establishment to divestment. This eGuidebook captures over 20 years’ experience of lessons learned from supporting clients in their Middle East ventures. If you would like to receive a copy, please contact Sally Reeves, HFI's Client Relations Manager. 
 
If you are looking for specialist support in relation to the establishment, restructuring or exiting of energy sector ventures in the MENA region, we would be delighted to discuss your plans in confidence and to discuss HFI’s solutions and services in detail. Please email
Sally Reeves to arrange a meeting/call with Hugh Fraser.
