Downhole-video technology company EV opened a new base in Australia. The company’s new Australian base, located in Perth, was established to aid local operations and provide a regional presence for projects in the area.
Features of the new facility include: a custom-built storage area for EV equipment, an electronics maintenance area, lithium battery storage area, a System Integration Testing (SIT) area and designated meeting areas.
The Australian office has three employees. EV plans to introduce a drillpipe camera in the upcoming months, along with its Slickline and Electric Line cameras.
“We are focusing on continued aggressive growth to provide local services on a global basis,” Francis Neill, EV chief executive, said. “In Asia, we have recently started operations in India and Indonesia with locally based engineers and equipment while simultaneously introducing new technologies, and we look forward to a successful year ahead in that region.”
EV, which splits its headquarters between Norwich and Aberdeen, has a team of around 90 employees.
