Aberdeen drilling waste management firm TWMA has extended a contract in United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a deal worth $70 million (£54.3m).
The firm now plans to expand its Middle East operation and increase its workforce by over 100 personnel.
Work scope for the unnamed UAE operator includes 10 additional jackups with skip and ship operations and the development of a new onshore treatment facility. Once completed, the facility is expected to process more than 50,000 metric tons of waste annually, generated by more than 100 land rigs operating in the region.
Aberdeen fluid control firm Osso has formed a new “entity” in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and appointed a new general manager to support significant growth of its business in the region.
Osso, formerly known as Centrifuges Unlimited, has also secured larger facilities in Abu Dhabi after it grew its fleet of key equipment such as mud coolers and chillers in the region over the past year.
Daniel Burbridge has been promoted as the firm’s general manager for the Middle East. Based in the region for over five years, Burbridge will now oversee the company’s operations and client relationships.

“With Daniel’s leadership, and our focus on enhancing and expanding our capabilities, we are well-positioned to continue building on our success and driving strong growth across the Middle East.”
