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 />
