SRJ Secures US$4.4m Three-Year Robotic Inspection Contract with UAE Oil Operator

Major Middle East Contract Validates SRJ’s Robotic Inspection Technology

SRJ Technologies Group Plc (ASX:SRJ) has landed a significant three-year contract valued at US$4.4 million (A$6.1 million) to provide advanced robotic leak detection and emissions inspection services to a leading government-owned upstream oil and gas operator in the United Arab Emirates. This deal follows a successful proof-of-concept campaign at one of the client’s onshore gas facilities, underscoring the effectiveness of SRJ’s proprietary remote inspection technologies.

The client, a state-owned operator managing a portfolio of mature onshore and offshore oil and gas assets, demands high standards of safety, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance. SRJ’s UAE subsidiary, Air Control Entech Survey LLC (ACE), will deploy its robotic inspection solutions to support these objectives across multiple facilities, with the contract structured on a call-off basis and subject to agreed operational and safety protocols.

Recurring Revenue Stream and Regional Growth Opportunity

While the contract value of US$4.4 million is indicative and not guaranteed due to call-off terms, it offers SRJ a promising recurring revenue stream over the next three years, with an option for a two-year extension at the client’s discretion. This contract not only validates SRJ’s technology but also strengthens its foothold in the Middle East energy sector, a region where the company has been actively expanding its presence.

This latest deal complements SRJ’s recent successes in the region, including a multi-year robotic inspection contract with Divetech, a subsidiary of AD Ports Group, which could generate up to US$1.3 million over 18 months. Together, these contracts highlight SRJ’s growing role in delivering technology-driven asset integrity and emissions management solutions across both oil and maritime sectors in the UAE.

Technology Driving Safer, More Efficient Inspections

SRJ’s advanced robotic systems enable non-intrusive, remote inspections that reduce the need for manual intervention, thereby enhancing safety and operational efficiency. The company’s proprietary technologies provide high-accuracy leak detection and emissions quantification, critical for maintaining asset integrity and meeting stringent environmental standards.

CEO Kurt Reeves emphasised the strategic importance of the contract, stating it represents a "significant milestone" and validates SRJ’s technology with a major national oil company. The company’s focus on data-driven integrity monitoring aligns with the client’s commitment to safety and environmental stewardship, positioning SRJ as a key partner in the region’s energy transition efforts.
