Oil & gas

In recent years, the economy was in top gear and the global population was also growing fast. That pushed up the demand for energy, and therefore the prices of oil and gas. Energy companies set up major investment programmes in the search for new reserves of oil and gas. Easily accessible sources are already in production and so this search is concentrating on less accessible areas such as the polar regions and the deep oceans. The high oil prices made it worthwhile to invest in the innovative technology needed to access these new reserves of energy.

Decommissioning

A relatively new market in which IHC Handling Systems is involved is the removal market. The removal of structures, jackets and pipe lines is a rapidly growing market segment as governments and authorities demand that oil companies remove production facilities after shut down. 'Your world, our challenge'.
