A reference on quality and safety in Angola
Angola 
Marcos de Sousa, then-manager of ISQapave Angola and now head of ISQ Group subsidiaries controlling, talks to The Energy Year about challenges in introducing new technology in the Angolan market and how the company plans to introduce advanced non-destructive testing (NDT). A JV of Portugal’s ISQ and France’s Apave, ISQapave provides certification, quality control inspection, training and NDT services, mainly to the oil and gas industry.
Market demand is always a factor. For example, if the market for NDT is focused on conventional NDT done with radiography, as is currently the case in Angola, despite our solid position in this area and the experience we can bring from our global groups, we have to deliver what the market is asking for. We are influencing the debate, but the customer is not yet willing to make that move.
At the most recent Angola Oil & Gas Conference, we presented cutting-edge technology for subsea inspection for oil and gas that our group offers for the environment and the importance of metrology.
