SCOFI combines extensive experience, resources and knowledge in offshore oil and gas drilling with a specific geographic focus on Venezuela operations. Through our own companies and a number of carefully selected partners, we have established a global network of engineers, designers, operators, builders, financial experts and others to provide practical, suitable and state-of-the-art solutions for this industry.
Our headquarters in Barbados puts us at the center of a growing energy market, and the island’s emerging banking connections allow us to create flexible financing and structuring of international investments.
Our story began at the Premeca Shipyard, a fully integrated industrial facility on the eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. Founded in 1958, that operation began building metal and mechanical systems for the local oil and gas industry, and in 1988 began focusing exclusively on building equipment, structures and vessels for the offshore oil and gas industry. All that history, knowledge, expertise, trained personnel and engineering experience remain intact today to serve our customers.
