With more than a decade of experience in the energy industry, GA R&D has earned recognition for its stringent focus on the development of global energy transition solutions. The company’s technologies are truly disruptive, targeting step-changes in performance and design efficiency to drive cost savings, emission reduction and sustainability. We speak with Yerasimos Angelis below, Managing Director of GA R&D, as the company receives its title in the Scottish Enterprise Awards 2024. Most Innovative Energy Transition Solutions Provider 2024 & Best Wireline Roller Tech Product 2024 – GARD U-line Founded in 2010, G A R&D is a highly innovative technology product development company specialising in the delivery of global energy transition solutions. G A R&D headquarters are located in the heart of Aberdeen Harbour and operates in nine countries, with six hubs, three manufacturing facilities, and ten partners and agents around the world. At the very forefront of innovation, G A R&D has developed the GARD U-line, range of conveyance systems which have been proven to be the most flexible and cost-effective conveyance technology solution existing in the upstream exploration and production sector of the global oil and gas industry. The simplicity of the design, coupled with its patented technology, reduces the rolling resistance friction coefficient to below 3%, thereby allowing tool strings to access and deploy tool strings in highly deviated wells. What’s more, the GARD U-line’s superior novel design requires no screws or fasteners for assembly, the patented interlocking design increases tool integrity and reliability whilst significantly reducing the potential for tools failure and stuck in hole scenarios among other associated negative operational issues during completion and intervention activities. The modular design also allows for the system to be assembled, disassembled, configured, and serviced in the field. The application of this technology for completion and intervention operations in oil and gas well is proven to have a significant impact on emission reduction. G A R&D innovative solutions consistently delivers in complete alignment with its core values of championing the sustainable reduction of emissions, reduction of operational risks in well completion and intervention operations and reduction of cost to end users. Through the efficacy and history of proven success the GARD U-line conveyance systems has gained significant market acceptance from major international oil and gas companies across multiple core oil and gas geo-regions globally. “We strive to maintain our core values at heart,” Yerasimos tells us, “Making sure that we deliver in every aspect to decarbonising the industry by introducing novel technologies that can change the industry for our future generations. G A R&D believes in the commonwealth being exactly what it is supposed to be: common. We intent to achieve this commonality by providing solutions readily available to everyone, so that people from all parts of the globe can benefit through such technologies, regardless of their economic standing.” G A R&D is developing swiftly and takes pride in the multi-national team of motivated individuals driving its success, we are proud and boasts a culture of diversity and inclusion. The company considers its team’s range of cultural, social, and geo-specific experiences, talents and knowledge as key foundation elements necessary for fostering understanding, corporation and collaboration across all boarders. GA R&Ds commitment to the fundamental principle of diversity and inclusion continue to strengthen the bonds, comradery, and loyalty throughout both internal and external team. “GA R&D invests in Scotland and its people,” says Yerasimos, “and additionally focused on creating career opportunities within the commonwealth countries”. Headquartered in Aberdeen, we provide people with opportunities by transferring knowledge, skills, training and experience whilst integrating the young generations into our futuristic emerging technologies and scientific development to ensure continuity and sustainability.” Sustainability is a prominent focus at G A R&D as we are in alignment and support the philosophies and requirements of oil and gas operators globally in shifting towards greener, sustainable solutions which support reduction of their carbon footprint and increase the return on investment whilst derisking operations. Additionally, many operators have opted to reduce, and in some cases, eliminate the use of electrically powered tractors, thus benefitting from reduced operational costs, reduced risk, and an increased reduction in their carbon footprint. The introduction of the U-line Roller series has significantly positioned G A R&D to lead the market in sustainable innovation; the conveyance rollers eliminate the requirement for the traditional, and costly, tractor solution in oil and gas well completion and intervention operations. The product is multifunctional and offers flexibility that is currently unparalleled by any other technology on the market, enabling GA R&D to maintain its position as an industry innovator. Looking forward, Yerasimos tells us that G A R&D has a prosperous year ahead, full of unmatched innovation and success. “G A R&D has many projects lined up for the near future,” he says. “Having been involved in developing novel technologies for 14 years, our business strategy is aligned with the evolving process of the oil and gas industry. Our aim: moving into geothermal solutions and other conventional mechanisms of accelerating towards a net zero positive future.
