Global leader in oil and gas well integrity and production optimisation, Coretrax, has appointed Colin Graham as the company’s first Sales and Operations Manager for Africa as it plans for future expansion.
Graham joins the business with more than four decades of experience under his belt, including previous works completed in the North Sea, Middle East and Africa. In his previous role as Business Development Manager for the Middle East and Caspian at TAM international, he was responsible for driving new and existing business across the region, with a particular focus on well intervention, completions and drilling.
His new role will see him play a key role in strengthening Coretrax’ presence in Africa by building on the company’s existing relationships within the region. His appointment follows a number of substantial project wins for Coretrax in western and southern Africa.
Graham said, “I’m very proud to be joining the team at Coretrax to enhance existing operations and actively expand the business’ footprint across Africa. The region is so vast, and no two fields are the same, so the breadth of Coretrax’s technology allows us to support every stage of the well lifecycle for both onshore and offshore projects. I am eager to share the opportunities that these technologies present to the energy industry in Africa and with the companies operating in the region.”
John Fraser, CEO at Coretax, commented, “As we continue to grow our business on a global scale, Colin will be a huge asset to the Coretrax team. His operational experience and expertise in well intervention and integrity will be extremely valuable to our existing customers in Africa and optimise well performance, and actively address operator challenges.
“Africa has been a key focus area for the business, and we have significant experience supporting major projects in Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Mauritania, Tanzania and Angola with a strong aim to increase our operations. We look forward to extending the delivery of our technology and high quality customer service to enable valuable time and cost savings to our customers.”
