Applus+ in the UAE has commenced rig service operations in Somalia, supporting a client on a landmark offshore drilling exploration programme. The scope of work includes the delivery of testing, inspection, and certification services to ensure the integrity, compliance, and operational readiness of critical drilling equipment throughout the campaign.
Operating in a remote and high-risk offshore environment, these services play a central role in maintaining safe and reliable operations. All equipment is subject to rigorous inspection and verification processes, ensuring alignment with international standards and reducing the risk of failure during drilling activities.
This proactive approach is particularly important in remote offshore locations, where rapid response capabilities and reliability are key to maintaining safe and continuous operations.
The project highlights the role of Applus+ in supporting clients in high-risk environments, where assurance of asset integrity directly contributes to the protection of personnel, the environment, and operational continuity. By providing specialised rig inspection and certification services, Applus+ enables safe execution of exploration activities in one of the industry’s more demanding regions.
This expansion into Somalia reflects the continued growth of Applus+ rig services across frontier markets, supporting energy operators as they extend exploration into new and complex territories.
