For international technology, engineering and oilfield-service companies. Taqwin assesses fit, structures the partnership, arranges registration and local execution, and builds the opportunity pipeline — so your capability arrives in Iraq under a contract an operator can sign.
Operators want the technology. Procurement wants a registered, insured, tax-compliant Iraqi counterparty with a track record, an HSE system and crews in the country. Tenders commonly require multi-year contract records, an in-country base and certified personnel — the exact requirements vary by operator and tender. Payment terms, security and local content are realities to plan for. The companies that succeed arrive with a structure and work a pipeline.
A local registration number, an operations base, insurance through licensed Iraqi insurers, ministry and tax registrations — and a contractor who has done it before.
Typically: contract records, ISO-aligned management systems, certified HSE, H₂S and well-control certified crews, equipment certificates and short mobilization times — checked against each tender.
A pipeline of qualified opportunities worked steadily, with proposals that read as local commitments rather than export sales.
Five stages, in order. Timelines are estimates and depend on the operator, the tender calendar and the structure chosen.
Your technology and services against real demand in Iraq — operators, fields, tenders, competitors already in-country. A written go/no-go.
Representation, joint venture or subcontract; exclusivity, territories, protected opportunities, response obligations, name and logo approvals.
Operator vendor lists, ministry registrations, prequalification packs — through Green Fields Oilfield Services, the Iraqi contractor on our platform.
Tender screening and evaluation, opportunity briefs, bid/no-bid recommendations, proposal and pricing support, client meetings in Baghdad and Basra.
Your equipment and specialists deployed under a Green Fields contract — customs, logistics, camp, HSE and the client interface handled in-country.
SERTECPET — a global oilfield services and EPC company with more than three decades in production facilities, well testing and patented jet-pump artificial lift, and MENA operations in the UAE — is entering Iraq through an exclusive representation agreement held by Green Fields Oilfield Services and coordinated by Taqwin.
Since signing, the platform has screened operator tenders for well testing and production facilities, prepared opportunity briefs and bid/no-bid recommendations, introduced SERTECPET's nitrogen-free coiled tubing jet pump technology to operators, and presented the partnership to international service companies working in Iraq. SERTECPET's engineers see every opportunity; the operator contracts with Green Fields, the Iraqi party.
Artificial lift, well testing, production chemistry, surface facilities packages, rotating equipment — technologies that solve a problem Iraqi operators have today.
FEED and detailed design houses that want Iraqi facility work without opening an office — delivered through a program office and a local contractor.
Process packages, electrical and instrumentation systems, power generation — manufacturers who need a qualified in-country partner for supply, installation and after-sales.
Usually. Operators and national oil companies contract with locally registered, tax-registered and insured entities that hold the required ministry registrations and can be held accountable in Iraq. The appropriate structure — a local partner, a registered branch or a representation arrangement — and the registrations required depend on the activity, the contracting arrangement and the operator's requirements. Taqwin assesses the options and, where representation fits, arranges execution through Green Fields Oilfield Services.
A representation agreement under which the international company appoints one Iraqi partner as its exclusive representative for defined products and services in Iraq, with obligations on both sides — opportunity notification, response times, qualified opportunities per year and approval of the use of names and logos. Taqwin coordinates the SERTECPET–Green Fields agreement of this kind.
A fit assessment takes weeks. Registration with operators and ministries, prequalification and a first qualified tender typically take several months; timelines depend on the operator and the tender calendar. A steady pipeline of qualified opportunities gives the best chance of a first award.
Upstream production facilities, well services and artificial lift, refineries and gas processing, power generation and industrial utilities — the sectors served by our partners SERTECPET and Green Fields Oilfield Services.
