Vision / Mission

The vision of AIL is to expand geographically; to expand our range of services within the geological/drilling services industries and to expand our range of company representations / JV’s with quality companies who complement our own services and areas of business.

Within the past few years AIL has expanded its onshore geophysical services to offshore and near shore services. We have commissioned research and development, invested and formed key business agreements with individuals possessing new technologies in the geochemical, hydrocarbon exploration sector for which worldwide patents are now pending approval. We have also expanded our drilling operations into Indonesia, targeting shallow, conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons. In the GCC, we are in the process of setting up both our geo-services (geophysics and hydrogeology focus) and drilling services, either independently or through key alliances, in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
