ABERDEEN消息 — Buckthorn集团和Arab Petroleum Investments公司(APICORP)已经成功收购Ashtead技术公司。Ashtead技术公司是一家可以独立供应水下设备，并提供海上油气工业相关服务的公司。
Buckthorn集团和APICORP公司所提供的秘密资助计划，可以让Ashtead公司进一步拓展其业务范围。该资助计划还可以帮助Ashtead公司扩大其服务领域，而Ashtead公司一直都对在中东地区发展业务有着浓厚的兴趣。
Buckthorn集团是一家投资公司，总部位于伦敦。而APICORP公司则是一家金融机构，由阿拉伯石油输出国家组织中的十个成员国共同建立。
Ashtead公司成立于1985年，并逐步成长为一家可以独立为油气工业提供水下技术和服务的公司，该公司凭借良好的信誉和产品质量吸引了一大批忠实顾客。此外，公司还在英国、Houston和新加坡设有办公部，并且公司一直致力于为顾客降低成本和提供增值服务。
作为公司执行总裁，Allan Pirie将继续领导Ashtead公司的管理团队。Buckthorn集团的Nicholas Gee以主席身份加入了Ashtead公司，而APICORP公司的Bennie Burger则加入了Ashtead公司的董事会。
Pirie先生表示：“这次收购行为意味着两家公司对我们公司的业务和我们所从事行业的市场行情有着十足的信心。对于Ashtead公司的顾客、供应商和职工而言，这种结果可谓皆大欢喜。”
“由于现在的油价对市场造成了长期的负面影响，像Ashtead这样的服务类公司必须努力降低项目成本和风险，让顾客更加关注我们的核心竞争力。两家公司的初期投资以及后续投资将会帮助我们提升水下检查、修理和维护(IRM)的专业技术，由此我们可以逐步成为一家综合类服务供应商。”石油圈原创www.oilsns.com

ABERDEEN — Buckthorn Partners and the Arab Petroleum Investments Corp. (APICORP) have acquired Ashtead Technology, an independent provider of subsea equipment and services to the offshore oil and gas industry.
The undisclosed funding package from Buckthorn and APICORP will allow Ashtead to further expand its service offering through both organic and acquisition led growth. The investment will also enable Ashtead to expand its geographical reach, with the Middle East being a particular area of interest and focus for the company.
Buckthorn is a London-based investment firm, and APICORP a financial institution established by the ten member countries of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Since its launch in 1985, Ashtead has grown to become a leading independent provider of subsea technology and services to the oil and gas industry with a strong customer base built on trust and quality. With offices in the UK, Houston and Singapore, Ashtead is focused on delivering cost savings and value-added services to its customers.
Allan Pirie will continue to lead Ashtead’s management team as CEO. Nicholas Gee from Buckthorn joins as chairman and Bennie Burger from APICORP also joins the board.
Pirie said, “This deal signals confidence both in our business and in the long-term direction of the market sector in which we operate. It’s a great outcome for Ashtead’s customers, suppliers and staff around the world.
“As the market evolves to cope with the long-term effects of the current oil price, service companies like Ashtead must assist in reducing project cost and risk, helping our customers to focus on their core competences. This initial investment coupled with access to further capital will enable us to significantly expand our expertise in subsea inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) to fulfill our ambition of becoming an integrated services provider.”
Following this transaction, Phoenix Equity Partners remain as investors with a minority stake in Ashtead Technology.
