Infinity Oilfield Services, an Aberdeen based company established in 2002, has expanded its service capabilities and offering to the nascent Energy boom that is Namibia.
With Shell, TotalEnergies, Chevron, Schlumberger, Halliburton and others investing billions in the country including plans for solar, hydrogen, hydro and conventional oil and gas, Namibia could be the next big frontier territory following on from the immense success of Guyana in South America.
Infinity, through its LION joint-venture with Lesedi Nuclear Energy Services, a South Africa based EPC, are in from the beginning to take advantage of the wave of investment flowing into the area.
Andrew Mackay, founder and CEO of the Infinity group companies, was ebullient, “We have established LION, a Namibian entity to not only bring Infinity expertise, but also Aberdeen partner companies to the region on a hosted basis.
“We believe that beyond the Energy Transition, Aberdeen has existing experience and capabilities that are second to none, even in conventional energy – skills that Namibia desperately needs and wants. My personal vision is to establish a mini-Aberdeen in Walvis Bay!”
Infinity have established the LION Energy Hub close to the main Namcor port in Walvis Bay. The Hub includes a walled secure compound with laydown area of 40,000 square meters and offices, warehouses, workshops, lifting equipment and support facilities.
Andrew continued: “We have already established a firm network of local contacts with the major E&P and drilling companies, who are excited to have the expertise of Scottish companies coming to town.
“We invite Aberdeen and UK based companies who are thinking of expanding their international presence into this burgeoning market to contact us to see how we can help them to establish a business in the region.”
