Remarks of Dr. Timi Austen Peters, Chairman of Dorman Long Engineering Limited on Oil & Gas Solutions Seminar

It is my pleasure to welcome you all to this virtual event on Oil & Gas solutions being jointly championed by Rockwell Automation South Africa (our strategic partner) and Dorman Long Engineering Limited (Authorized Distributor for Rockwell Automation in Nigeria).

As you all know, Rockwell Automation is the world’s leader in industrial Automation/Information Technology. Dorman Long Engineering Limited (DLEL) is a leading Oilfield Equipment, Structural Steel, Marine Engineering and Fabrication company. Since inception, Dorman Long has been a major contributor to Nigeria’s industrial and Infrastructural development through steel fabrication and erection services. In recent years, Asset Management, Galvanizing and Manpower supply services have turned Dorman Long into a vendor of choice in the Oil and Gas, Telecommunications and Power sectors.

Our partnership with Rockwell Automation started in 2012, and there is no doubt that this relationship has, over the years, helped over 30 end-users to reduce their operational costs, increase standardization and facility uptime through the use of Rockwell Brands (Rockwell Software, Allen Bradley Hardware, FactoryTalk and Lifecycle Services). Dorman Long has been the face of Rockwell in Nigeria offering superior B2C (business to consumer) delivery and service at the RIGHT PRICE, WHERE and WHEN needed.

The timing of this auspicious event and importance lies in the fact that the Nigerian Gas sector is billed for growth and development with the potential of becoming the mainstay of the country’s economy. Investments and the drive to harness Nigeria’s abundant natural gas across all facets of industry, mostly notable through the NLNG T7 project with a 35% increase in annual production capacity from 22 mtpa to 30 mtpa. Collectively, investments into the gas space will help to further diversify the revenue portfolio of the Federal Government. Rockwell Automation’s gas technology solutions will be instrumental in generating value to producers, across her facility be it upgrade initiatives, maintenance and process systems.

We at Dorman Long Engineering are excited to be part of Rockwell Automation’s newest technologies in the development of the Nigerian gas industry. DLE’s expertise, footprint and established relationships with the oil majors and minors allows her the comparative advantage and position to market the RA brand. We are confident that this innovative technology will support your businesses to realize smarter and connected solutions towards operational excellence.

In conclusion, we wish to thank Rockwell Automation for the continuous business partnership enjoyed over the years. We also wish to thank all the participants for your time. It is my sincere wish that you will achieve the desired goals behind the seminar.
