OEG Offshore and CRT combine businesses in U.S.

OEG Offshore, a provider of cargo carrying units to the oil and gas industry with headquarters in Aberdeen, has merged its US business with Cameron Rental and Tank Inc (CRT), a Louisiana-based oilfield equipment provider.

OEG Offshore says that the multi-million dollar merger positions the combined businesses with locations across the Gulf of Mexico region.

Furthermore, it will enable the merged companies to support their customers’ full range of requirements with enhanced engineering and service capabilities and a wider range of equipment.

Cameron Rental and Tank President Thomas McDaniel said: “This merger connects CRT to one of the biggest names in the industry and we are excited to be able to support our customers and the wider offshore oil & gas industry with the additional resources, products and services that we will now be able to deploy. I look forward to working with OEG to really accelerate our growth and provide our high quality service to a wider range of customers across the Gulf of Mexico and beyond.”

OEG Offshore notes that CRT has been servicing the Gulf coast oilfield industry since 2000 and has operations in key Gulf locations including Port Fourchon, Venice, and Cameron. CRT provides a range of cargo carrying units including baskets and containers, cutting boxes and portable chemical tanks alongside pumps and operated vacuum services.

OEG Offshore Chief Executive John Heiton said: “This merger provides an ideal platform for the OEG Offshore group to significantly expand its presence across the Gulf of Mexico region. We are pleased that Thomas and Chuck McDaniel, as former owners of CRT, as well as all of the company’s other employees will remain with the business as we move forward together.”

Heiton further said: “We intend to work with the CRT team to develop their already strong service offering, at the same time as investing in growing the range and size of the fleet. We strongly believe that current and future customers of both OEG and CRT will benefit from a wider local base network and an enhanced product and servicing offering to support their production and drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico.”
