Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has established a specialised oil & gas division within Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, its Houston-based US subsidiary.
“By strengthening the combined functions for various products handled by the group, such as compressors and gas turbines, MHI will provide one stop solutions to the upstream, LNG and downstream markets” MHI said.
The division will focus on identifying, developing, and leading business opportunities for turbomachinery and engineered solutions including growth areas such as floating production, LNG, plant modularisation, CO2 EOR, gas processing and petrochemicals the company said.
"The oil, gas and petrochemical industry in the US will continue its robust development," Hiroaki Osaki, president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor Corporation (MCO) and head of the newly-established division said, adding the new unit was looking to “create synergies across MHI's product lines and utilize our vast R&D network to seek out new technologies, innovations, and services that will drive value for customers and broaden the MHI Oil & Gas portfolio.”
MHI's relocation of its US head office in Houston last year “established deeper roots in an important city for America's energy and oil & gas businesses, bringing MHI closer to its customers and manufacturing sites” MHI stressed.
MHI group has 7,300 employees in over 100 offices and factories located in 30 states across the US.
