For oil and gas sites, ACE Trading supplies robust container stores, workshops, field offices and reefers across Saudi Arabia — sealed steel units built for sand, heat and remote field conditions, from about SAR 6,900. From our Dammam base they reach Eastern Province sites quickly and relocate with the project. Same-day quote.
Updated
Oil, gas and industrial field sites run on equipment that has to arrive, work and survive far from a supply chain. Containers give the remote store, tool crib, workshop and field office that do exactly that: a sealed steel shell shrugs off sand, heat and the long haul out to site, and modified units bring the welfare, electrics and cold storage a crew needs when nothing is built yet. The Eastern Province — Dhahran, Jubail, the Jubail and Ras Tanura corridors — is our home ground, so units reach these sites quickly, and the same box relocates with the project as the work moves. Spares stores, chemical and sample stores, chilled stores for the mess, and lockable offices all come from one supplier.
