Saudi Arabia’s Oil & Gas services conglomerate<br />
<strong>Rawabi</strong> <strong>Holding</strong> Company along with<br />
United Safety Limited (USL) of Canada, held<br />
the opening ceremony of the new Technical<br />
Operations & Training Center of their Saudibased<br />
Joint venture Company <strong>Rawabi</strong> United<br />
Safety Services (RUSS) located in Dammam<br />
on Monday the 22nd of June, 2009.<br />
Chairman of <strong>Rawabi</strong> Group and Chairman<br />
of Energy Capital Group, Sheikh Abdulaziz<br />
Ali AlTurki hosted the event with Mr. Lee<br />
Whittaker, CEO of USL. Many executives<br />
from Saudi Aramco, <strong>Rawabi</strong> guests, repre-<br />
sentatives from other <strong>Rawabi</strong> entities and<br />
JV companies, along with RUSS’s clients attended<br />
the event. The Opening featured a<br />
number of presentations about the facility<br />
and its purpose and capacity including a<br />
“walk-in” detailed tour of the facility that<br />
had a number of different stations manned<br />
by RUSS’s Saudi H2S specialists and engineers.<br />
This facility is the only specialized<br />
H2S training facility in the GCC.<br />
RUSS provides critical H2S safety and monitoring<br />
services to the oil & gas drilling, transportation<br />
and refining operations in Saudi<br />
Arabia. The company currently employs<br />
over 80 qualified safety specialists who are<br />
primarily stationed at most of Saudi Aramco’s<br />
onshore and offshore drilling sites. This<br />
facility will help the company grow in Saudi<br />
Arabia and the region by training and certifying<br />
staff in H2S Awareness and H2S Alive.<br />
RUSS prides itself for training its specialist<br />
for a minimum of 30 days prior to releasing<br />
them to drilling sites.<br />
H2S is a colorless odorless gas that is released<br />
during the drilling cycle and is considered<br />
fatal to human life. USL has the<br />
best H2S safety record worldwide and has<br />
a strong and reputable history of keeping<br />
its employees, its client’s employees and all<br />
other associated field contractors’ employees<br />
safe from the dangers of the H2S Gas.<br />
