NMDC Energy, a leading provider of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for offshore and onshore energy clients, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Baker Hughes in Saudi Arabia.
The partnership aims to enhance localisation of Baker Hughes’ key products and solutions in the Kingdom's offshore energy sector, supporting markets across the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, and India (MENATI).
Leveraging NMDC Energy’s advanced facilities, particularly its yards in Saudi Arabia, the collaboration will focus on offshore products and services to meet the growing needs of the offshore market. Planned initiatives include an Emergency Pipeline Repair System (EPRS) project and the establishment of a logistics base to support flexible pipeline systems across the Kingdom and the wider MENATI region.
This agreement follows a separate MoU between NMDC Energy and Baker Hughes covering gas technology products. The company has recently strengthened partnerships with several regional and international firms during ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi, reinforcing its position as a leading EPC service provider in the energy sector.
Earlier this year, NMDC Energy inaugurated its state-of-the-art fabrication yard in Ras Al Khair, Saudi Arabia. Located within the Ras Al-Khair Special Economic Zone, the 400,000 sq m facility has an annual production capacity of 40,000 tons and integrates automation and digital systems to deliver comprehensive fabrication, rigging, maintenance, and modularisation services for large-scale energy infrastructure projects.
Eng. Ahmed Al Dhaheri, chief executive officer of NMDC Energy, said, “NMDC Energy’s fabrication capabilities have drawn global players, particularly leading entities such as Baker Hughes, who share our vision of finding synergies that meet the evolving energy sector demands in the Kingdom and the wider MENATI region. As a strategic enabler of Saudi Arabia’s energy sector through global partnerships, NMDC Energy is committed to finding new pathways towards increased localisation in the Kingdom, supporting economic growth, job creation, and diversification.”
