German oil field supplier and service provider PetroServices has said it is looking into opening an office in Kenya to tap into the expanding oil and gas sector.<\/p>\n
According to Business Development General Director at PetroServices Dr. Hesham Khalid the expansion to either Kenya or Tanzania will occur in the fourth quarter of 2014 once the company completes an ongoing market research to weigh on the potential by each country.<\/p>\n
