OEG Offshore attracted significant investment from KKR in 2014, focussed on fuelling further growth as the group expands its operations across its regional hubs in key locations including Singapore, Australia, and USA and 20 further diversified stocking locations worldwide.
The group also boosted its presence in the Caspian region with the purchase of OSCA Environmental Services Ltd, in the summer of last year – adding some 2,500 units to its stock in the region.
