Underlining its commitment to help strengthen Iraq’s energy infrastructure, GE Oil & Gas (NYSE: GE) has established a new technology and service center near Basra City, in the heart of the oil-rich North Rumaila region. The facility, which was opened earlier this month, brings the latest GE technology and expertise to local customers to help boost production in the Rumaila oil field.
In addition to being a base for the supply of pressure control equipment to Iraq’s drilling and production sector, the new center provides a wide range of services including installation and maintenance, testing, inspections, repair and storage. Future services will include complete non-destructive testing capabilities, machine, welding and heat treatment, blasting and painting and API certification and recertification.http://www.pennenergy.com/articles/pennenergy/2013/january/new-ge-oil---gas-facility-to-boost-production-of-fields-in-iraq.html?cmpid=EnlDailyPetroJanuary292013
