Rotating Equipment

Unaoil has been involved in rotating equipment since its inception and the strong growth of this business resulted in the formation of Unaroteq as a dedicated division within the group. Consisting of industry experts and strong regionally based teams, Unaroteq has been successful in delivering a range of benefits for our principals, partners and end-users throughout the regions in which Unaoil operates. The experience of our team in terms of technical, commercial and political country knowledge allows us to offer unique added-value solutions to the market-place. We have principals that are at the leading edge of their field with strong expertise in gas and steam turbines, compressor and pump technology.

The key benefits that we can offer include:

Excellent knowledge and capability in the Oil & Gas, Petrochem, Power Generation and Water Utility sectors.
A strong track record of growth, with deep relationships with the end-users in the countries where we operate that, we believe, keep us at the forefront of this sector.
A capability to provide market consultancy, integration or in-country operations dependant on the needs of our principals, partners and political needs of the territory.
Experience in operating in perceived challenging regions where our knowledge allows us to deliver the greatest benefits to both our principals and end clients.
The experience to act as a distributor or contractor in-country if this assists our partners in executing contracts within their risk criteria.
Everything we do is done in the full knowledge and with the agreement of our principals in line with their business strategy.
We have the track record and appetite to invest in operations and people in-country to allow our principals and partners to deliver a politically and commercially acceptable package to end clients.
We have the capability and culture to move efficiently and quickly to maximise competitive advantage for our partners.

Recent Projects

Provision of Rolls Royce gas generators to SOC Iraq

During 2009 Unaoil successfully supplied, installed and commissioned 3 brand new Rolls Royce Avon 1535 Gas Generators to SOC Iraq. The project was executed ahead of schedule and allowed SOC to increase its oil output.

At a time when many Western companies are starting to consider returning to Iraq, Unaoil are ahead of the field and as part of this contract had a highly skilled, fully trained ex-pat team based in Iraq. They worked closely with the Unaoil in-country Iraqi experts.

This project once again demonstrated Unaoil’s unique capability to supply innovative technical and commercial solutions in the most challenging of environments ahead of schedule and exceeding the customer’s expectations.

Provision of production chemicals in Iraq

Unaoil’s involvement with Production Chemicals began in 2004 when we started supplying the Iraqi South Oil Company with desperately needed Emulsion Breaker (Demulsifier).

By 2006 Unaoil had established ‘Unachem Ltd’ which employed a dedicated and experienced team of locals and ex-pats. Combining this with the Group’s existing resources and infrastructure, we were able to cover all the skills and resources required of an independent Production Chemical company while at the same time providing on-site support to clients in Iraq. The integration of local capability with leading technology meant that by 2008, Unachem had engineered and prequalified several products including Demulsifiers and Corrosion Inhibitors, set up a blending and logistics facility in Ajman (UAE) and secured a revolving US$10m structured facility with BNP Paribas to support its production chemical business. Between 2006 and 2008 we secured greater than 90% of the production chemical market in Southern Iraq, delivered 40,000 drums of Demulsifier to SOC and were amongst the pioneers in qualifying and winning large contracts for the supply of Corrosion Inhibitor for SOC’s water injection facilities.

Our Group had several technical partners who provided innovative chemistry, lab support and QA/QC standards. We leveraged this platform to devise and refine products that were tailored for the Southern Iraq oilfields. One of our technical partners, Weatherford International, went on to purchase Unachem in 2008 and Unaoil remains their commercial advisors for all their Production Chemicals business for several countries in the Middle East.
