According to CMSB, the proposed acquisitions represent a strategic investment and potential synergy with the group’s existing businesses as well as the opportunity to diversify into the global energy sector and grow its revenue and earnings.
Scomi Energy, via the Oilfield group, is one of the top five global providers of drilling support services and products for the oil and gas industry. It offers drilling fluids services and drilling waste management services. Scomi Energy has a presence in 15 markets across Asia, Middle East, Europe and Africa with an ongoing order book.
The CMS management expects to leverage Oilfield group’s global presence to expand the group’s clientele and serve as a bridge for the expansion of its existing businesses into the markets where the Oilfield group has a presence.
“The group’s push into sustainability as a business strategy will benefit from Oilfield group’s waste management services and this business is expected to grow due to increasing drilling activity as crude prices remain elevated. The additional benefit from the proposed acquisitions is that the group will not take on additional debt while drilling and waste management services are asset-light businesses. The asset light structure will be the core business operating model for future growth,” CMSB had said earlier.
