Motive Spooling & Inspection LLC launches in Houston
30 MAY 2018
Coinciding with OTC 2018 earlier this month, Motive Spooling & Inspection LLC has launched in Houston to meet growing demand from clients in the region.
Motive Spooling & Inspection, a division of the Motive Offshore Group, provides high quality marine products to the oil and gas, subsea, decommissioning and renewable sectors.
Motive Spooling and Inspection LLC will operate across the US, the Gulf of Mexico and Canada, forming a key part of the firm’s overall global expansion strategy. It follows a successful 2017 that saw Motive turn over in excess of £10m GBP across the group.
The US division will be led by Ally Forbes, director of Spooling and Inspection, with Patrick Porciello appointed as regional manager to oversee operations in Houston. They bring with them over 25 years expertise in the oil and gas, marine and engineering fields.
Establishing our Houston base demonstrates our commitment to US clients and will allow us to engage directly with the market. The positive atmosphere at OTC last month suggests that confidence is starting to return to the oil industry, and this, coupled with a full order book, means it is an ideal time to open our Houston base. Having people and equipment on the ground saves on transportation and mobilisation costs ensuring we can be competitive, flexible and responsive, while delivering reliable, high quality equipment and services supported by a team of experienced technicians.
