HOUSTON -- NOV Elmar has opened a new facility in Dubai, expanding its premises in the region to almost 40,000 sq ft (3,716 sq m) and increasing the number of staff to over 50.

The newly extended facility, located in the Oilfield Supply Center in Jebel Ali, means the firm is now able to manufacture wireline units and trucks on site in Dubai as well as expand its original operations associated with the service and rental of wireline and coiled tubing equipment.

As part of the expansion, NOV Elmar Middle East has launched a service and repair center and appointed Pete Davis to head up the new division. A first for the Middle East, the new division will allow the firm to carry out annual and major service work on coiled tubing equipment.
