The questions we hear most from Gulf procurement and contracts teams.
Not on the list?sales@tces.usQ.01Do you hold ICV or IKTVA certificates?
Status is set by each programme, country by country. The current position for TCES MENA in each market is in the prequalification pack: ask for it and we’ll send the version for your country.

Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait, backed by TCES operating bases in Texas and Louisiana.

Talk to us. Where a tender or operator calls for a local partner or agent, we’ll discuss the arrangement that fits the country and the scope.
Q.04How fast can you mobilise?
It depends on the scope, the equipment and where the well is. Tell us the well, the country and the timing, and we’ll come back with a realistic mobilisation plan.

Yes. Send the invitation or registration link and we’ll complete it with the documents in the pack.
