Independent well completion and intervention technology developer and manufacturer Omega Completion Technology has appointed a business development manager in Norway in response to an increase in Scandinavian contracts and projects.
Joachim Nessa has joined Omega’s Stavanger office from Interwell Norway AS where he had worked as sales engineer for three years and previously spent six years as a tool specialist with PI Intervention AS.
Nessa has extensive international experience, delivering projects for operators in the Middle East, Baku, Indonesia and across Europe and also has broad technical expertise within the intervention and completions market. He started his oil and gas career with Maritime Well Service (now Altus Intervention) where he was a wireline operator and crew member offshore in Norway.
Fredrik Harestad, general manager for Omega in Norway welcomed Nessa to the team. He said, “Omega’s reputation for innovative intervention tools that are manufactured in-house is growing in Norway and this new appointment will help to further expand our business, particularly focusing on remotely operated sleeves and bridge plugs.”
Headquartered in Aberdeen, Omega is an independent equipment developer and manufacturer. The firm currently employs 60 people in the U.K., Norway and the Middle East where it has operational facilities in Saudi Arabia.
Nessa said, “I am familiar with Omega’s impressive technology portfolio and believe there are significant opportunities to grow our market share in Norway and across Europe. Managing the end-to-end process in-house from concept to design and through to manufacturing is unique within the intervention and completions sector and delivers significant benefits to clients along with a rapid well side response.”
