Market Consultancy
Our market consultancy practice has been active since our inception. We focus on providing quality advice to a select group of leading OEMs and contractors who focus on technological excellence. We work with the great majority of our clients across multiple territories and, in the main, have known them for at least ten years. In summary, we seek long-term partnerships that are built on consistent performance and a deep understanding of one another’s products, strengths and approaches.
Our approach to Market Consultancy is to develop in-depth knowledge of each of our markets through a network of locally staffed Unaoil support offices in all the countries where we are active.
The deep understanding we build about each market allows us to play a unique role for our clients, helping them navigate their approach within these specific territories. Our services include:
- Providing an understanding of the decision-making processes within a specific area or country.
- Focusing on the analysis of future market requirements. This enables our partners to tailor strategies for individual markets that add maximum value to the Activities in which they participate.
- Advising partners on both proposal preparation and the management of ongoing Activities so as to ensure the requirements of national customers are met at every stage in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
The consulting activities of our local offices combined with the integration work that Unaoil performs in these territories increase our effectiveness and also the network of resources that we are able to call upon when working with our partners.

Iraq Crude Oil Export Expansion Project
Read MoreIraq Crude Oil Export Expansion Project
Unaoil Engineering and Construction (UnaE&C) is currently constructing the on-shore component of the Iraq Crude Oil Export Expansion Project.
The Iraq Crude Oil Export Expansion Project (ICOEEP) is perhaps the most important strategic project in the Iraqi Ministry of Oil's Master Plan. The Crude Export Facility of Southern Iraq currently exports approximately 1.8 MMBOPD from the KAAOT and ABOT offshore terminals. The oil is transported from onshore facilities to the offshore terminals through two 48 inch export pipelines for ABOT and one 42 inch and two 32 inch pipelines for KAAOT. The KAAOT terminal has previously suffered damage and so the majority of the oil is exported through the ABOT terminal. The current export facilities and pipelines were built in the 1960s and 1970s and designed for a 20 year life, with the proper maintenance.
The Ministry of Oil Master Plan 2007 has the objective of developing further offshore loading facilities to enable export capability of 4.5 MMBOPD (excluding exports from KAAOT) within 5 years. The 4.5 MMBOPD export capacity will be made up of 1.8 MMBOPD from ABOT and 2.7 MMBOPD from the new facilities. New facilities include Phase 1 (two 48" pipelines and two SPMs), Phase 2 (additional SPM and Control, Metering & Manifold Platform) plus a future pipeline and SPM. Phase 1 and Phase 2 together are targeted to achieve 1.8 MMBOPD
The scope of Unaoil's responsibilities include:
- 2 x 48" ONSHORE pipelines from FAO terminal to new beach valve station
- Installation of FOC (Fibre Optic Cables) & Telecommunication equipment
- Installation of SCADA, ESD, FDS and other control systems at FAO & the BVS
