MES History
In 2011 , MES was awarded security services contract in support of some of the largest international companies operating in Iraq, including but not limited to Halliburton. During this time, MES designed and implemented across various southern Iraq Oil Field concessions a turnkey security services product. Allowing companies to contract MES to provide not only physical security services, but support with physical security implementation measures such as rig profile construction and relocation within the oil fields.
In 2012, MES continued to grow, following the award of security services contracts in support of Baker Hughes International and also gained ISO 9001:2008 accredited status.
2014 saw MES apply to be one of only a handful of Iraqi-owned PSC’s to be included on the Rumaila Operating Organization (ROO) approved security services provider list. MES achieved this passing all ROO-led extensive audit processes on the first attempt. During 2014, MES was also approved by the Basra Gas Company (BGC), confirming compliance following extensive external audit procedures in line with SHELL security standards for Iraq.
For a period of twelve months between 2014 and 2015, a fully operational management center was set up to provide oversight of Baker Hughes International mobile and static security operations.
Also in 2015, MES registered a High field approved training academy, located within the MES life support camp in Abu al-Khaseeb, Basra. This enabled MES to continue to grow, providing security services in support of major International Oil Companies (IOC's) operating within southern Iraq.
Additionally, MES was awarded a large-scale security services contract in support of PetroChina in August 2016. Following an extremely competitive bid process, PetroChina awarded the static security services contract to MES to provide a total security profile to PetroChina in Halfaya.
MES continued to grow in 2017 and supported companies that include, but not limited to, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Egyptian Maintenance Company (EMC), Anton Oil Field Services, PetroChina and DHL.
