Member News: THREE60 Energy accelerates Middle East growth with acquisition of Total Vision

THREE60 Energy, one of the fastest-growing companies in the global energy services sector, has announced a major step in its Middle East growth strategy with the acquisition of Total Vision (TV), a multidisciplinary engineering and project management services provider in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The acquisition marks a significant milestone in THREE60’s long-term growth strategy, positioning the company to better serve clients across the Middle East’s rapidly evolving energy landscape – from traditional oil and gas projects to emerging sectors such as carbon capture and storage and renewable energy.

The move also strengthens THREE60’s regional footprint following the opening of its new UAE headquarters in Abu Dhabi, which serves as a strategic hub for its expanding portfolio of energy transition and engineering projects across the wider region.

Through the acquisition, THREE60 gains a fully integrated engineering and project management delivery organisation from Total Vision, securing a robust pipeline of ongoing and future projects, alongside deep local market expertise – providing an immediate platform for accelerated regional integration and growth.

Walter Thain, CEO of THREE60 Energy, said:

“This acquisition builds on the foundations we’ve established in the UAE, with Abu Dhabi providing a strong base for our continued growth across the Middle East. It combines Total Vision’s local expertise and reputation with THREE60’s global capability and financial strength, enabling us to deliver broader and more integrated services that further strengthen our position in one of the world’s most dynamic energy markets.

“The Middle East is pivotal to our long-term strategy – a region defined by major investment, industrial diversification, and a clear commitment to wider energy solutions. Deepening our presence here ensures we can support customers across the full energy lifecycle, from traditional oil and gas to renewables and carbon capture.

“In addition, we would like to extend our thanks to Asend Capital, who acted as the exclusive M&A advisor on this transaction.” 

Chetan Pathania, Founder and Managing Director of Total Vision, said:

“Joining THREE60 Energy marks an exciting new chapter for Total Vision. We share the same commitment to technical excellence, safety, and delivering value to our clients. Becoming part of a global organisation with complementary expertise allows us to expand our capabilities, take on larger and more complex projects, and create greater opportunities for our people and clients across the region.”

The acquisition follows a period of exceptional performance for THREE60. The company has delivered a 36% year-on-year increase in revenue and achieved a number of major contract wins, creating a combined £200 million business with around 1,100 employees worldwide and expanded capabilities across subsurface, wells, subsea, engineering, operations and product solutions.

THREE60’s continued expansion is underpinned by its commitment to innovation, diversification, and sustainability. With the acquisition of Total Vision, the company enhances its regional capability and reinforces its role as a trusted partner for customers navigating both traditional oil and gas and energy transition opportunities in the Middle East.

Get in touch

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
