Al Fajer Group is joining the IBBC, reinforcing its commitment to strengthening its position within the oil and gas industry and driving forward progress within the broader Iraqi energy sector.

Mr. Omar A.Sahib, the Managing Director of ALFAJER UK LTD, shares that the company operates from two strategic offices—Basra and London—enabling us to provide exceptional support for oil and gas operations, with a core focus on the world-renowned Rumaila oil field in Basra. ALFAJER is a diversified and dynamic company with specialized technical and administrative departments, including E&I, ICT, Commercial, HSE, Finance, HR, and Operations, ensuring comprehensive expertise in every aspect of our business.

At the heart of our technical offerings are two key departments: E&I, which provides cutting-edge energy solutions across a broad range of services—HV, MV, and LV electrical systems, solar energy solutions, instrumentation, automation, and OHTL. This department is dedicated to driving innovation and enhancing energy efficiency across the industry.

Furthermore, our ICT & Security department excels in delivering advanced electronic security solutions, including CCTV, access control systems, and specialized oil and gas systems such as flare monitoring. We also provide an expansive fiber and copper cabling infrastructure, all designed to meet the highest standards of security and reliability.

Al Fajer is one of the first innovative companies to introduce advanced technologies, including AI-based monitoring of generator and pump performance at the ESP wellhead. Additionally, since the end of 2022, we have successfully installed off-grid solar systems that completely replace gensets, achieving incredible success in both performance and sustainability while significantly reducing operational costs.

For over a decade, Al Fajer has been a trusted partner to ROO-BP, offering unparalleled service as a main contractor under long-term agreements covering a wide range of both large and small-scale projects. Al Fajer’s ongoing collaborations are a testament to the excellence and reliability that define our operations and our commitment to delivering outstanding results.

AL Fajer look forward to building even stronger relationships within the IBBC and continuing to lead the way in delivering high-quality, efficient, and innovative solutions across the oil and gas sector.

Christophe Michels, MD of IBBC says ‘IBBC welcomes high capability companies like Al Fajar, who not only bring state of the art electrical technologies to Iraq but also work closely with our community with companies like BP and Shell and enhance their efficiency and technical capabilities’.

Omar A.Sahib, MD of ALFAJER UK LTD says ‘We are delighted to be joining the IBBC membership and becoming part of a community of private businesses that support the Iraqi economy. We believe that the unique combination of ICT and electrical specialties within Al Fajer provides us with a distinct competitive advantage, enabling us to deliver integrated and innovative solutions. This synergy allows us to address complex challenges with tailored, end-to-end solutions, enhancing our ability to meet the diverse needs of the oil and gas sector and ensuring seamless, high-quality results.

This collaboration benefits both Iraq and the UK, especially following the signing of the master agreement in January 2025. Together, we can foster growth and create opportunities in the energy sector and beyond.
