The Gastech 2021 industry conference had another highlight this Tuesday. Technip Energies, along with the National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC), announced the launching of a joint venture.
The initiative aims at capturing opportunities for the energy transition in the United Arab Emirates and other countries of the MENA region.
Both companies COE’s signed the Memorandum of Understanding on September 21, during the conference. NPCC CEO Eng Ahmed Dhaheri, and Technip Energies CEO Arnaud Pieton, agreed to explore and capitalize on the evolving opportunity that the energy transition represents.
Moreover, the MoU will leverage decades of the existing collaboration between both companies. This will bring complementary value to the JV.
