DAVID DOIG FOUNDATION LAUNChES WITh GOAL OF SUPPORTING ‘EDUCATION FOR ALL’


A new charitable organisation has been launched in memory of oil and gas industry leader David Doig aimed at tackling education-related inequalities in the UK and abroad.


The David Doig Foundation has been set up by the former CEO of OPITO’s wife Gillian, in memory of her husband, who died suddenly in January after a heart attack aged 57.


A seed fund of over £90,000 has been established by David’s family and industry supporters and Gillian is now launching a fundraising drive so that the Foundation can help as many people as possible regardless of their circumstances.


David was a much-respected oil and gas industry leader and a firm believer in social responsibility. his straight-talking approach and belief that all oil and gas workers should be able to go to work and return home safely at the end of each day, helped drive positive change across the global industry.


The David Doig Foundation has been set up in partnership with Foundation Scotland, a UK registered independent charity. Gillian is planning a host of fundraising activities, and is kick-starting events by participating in a family skydive over St Andrews on 17 September. She is also organising a golf day at St Andrew’s on 27 October and is looking for teams to get involved.


The Foundation will support a diverse range of activities from confidence building around returning to education to opportunities for young people and children who are at risk or have been excluded from mainstream education.


Donations can be made through the David Doig Foundation website where details can also be found about education initiatives and hosting fundraising events.


Suretank Latin America has entered into a partnership agreement with Pinamak aimed at dramatically reducing operating costs in the transportation of chemicals to offshore platforms.


The partnership between Suretank Latin America, a leading manufacturer of offshore chemical tanks, and Pinamak, the longest established offshore logistics company in the Campos Basin, marks a significant change for offshore chemical tank operators in Brazil.


Companies can now access sites near the embarkation points where decontamination, washing, storage and filling of their transport chemical tanks can take place saving valuable time and reducing transportation costs.


Marco Pfeifer commenting on the new partnership said: “This is the result of two years of research and development studying the Brazilian market in order to devise the best way to reduce operating costs for companies working in the oil and gas market.


“For the first time we can offer chemical companies a complete solution to their offshore requirements. “


Pinamak has a licensed area of general warehouses with more than 30,000 m² in Macaé (RJ).


Suretank has the largest number of DNV 2.7-1 certified products and, in Brazil, works within NORMAM 5 (Brazilian Navy’s requirement for operation with dangerous cargoes in the offshore market).

Suretank’s product range includes Chemical and Acid transport tanks, helifuel tanks, offshore Containers, Baskets, offshore Mudskips and Cryogenic tanks.


The business, launched at the start of 2017, has moved from its city centre offices to 30,000sq ft premises at Altens Industrial Estate in Aberdeen, United Kingdom. This adds to the existing operations that NXG has already set up in holland and the Middle East.


NXG has also agreed a lease on a three acre site for a welding, machine shop and ‘make-and-break’ facility within the IOS Longside Supply Base, near Peterhead, United Kingdom.


The investment follows the acquisition of tools and equipment from hunting Equipment Management Services (hEMS) Ltd earlier this year. NXG now has contracts in place with all the major service companies and, as a result, operates in more than 50 countries. The company is on track to record turnover of £4m by the end of the year.


The firm currently employs 15 people but is looking to add a further 18 before the end of the year, with most new recruits based at the Longside operation.


NXG Drilling Services supplies a range of bottom- hole assembly (BhA) equipment including stabilisers, subs, drill collars, hole openers and reamers. In addition, the business also has a large stock of non-magnetic tools.


The company has streamlined costs by partnering with in-country oil service firms, and introduced smarter logistics and innovative sales and rental models to respond to cost-conscious requirements in the drilling phase of exploration and production programmes.


NXG clients also have the option of adding cost-effective products from its research and development arm, OILSCO Technologies, which can deliver a range of solutions for drilling operations.
