MySep Announces Opening of Middle East Office in Doha and Appointment of Managing Director
New Doha office strengthens regional support for oil and gas and LNG customers, with Mohammad Yasser Ramzan appointed to lead Middle East operations
**DOHA, QATAR** 12 April 2026 - MySep the specialist process engineering software company for advanced phase separation design and simulation, today announces the opening of MySep Middle East LLC, headquartered in Doha, Qatar, alongside the appointment of Mohammad Yasser Ramzan as Managing Director, MySep Middle East.
The establishment of MySep Middle East LLC marks a strategic expansion of the company’s global presence and reinforces its long term commitment to supporting oil and gas and LNG operators, EPCs and engineering teams across the Middle East. From its Doha base, the company will deliver local technical engagement focused on process optimisation, separator performance assessment and advanced separation modelling for both brownfield assets and new developments.
Even in challenging market conditions, the establishment of MySep Middle East LLC reflects the company’s long-term commitment to the Middle East, to local engagement, and to sustained technical collaboration across upstream, midstream and LNG operations. The investment recognises the region’s strategic importance to global energy supply and the increasing need for accurate, data driven separation technologies to support reliable, efficient operations.
The Middle East continues to see significant investment in LNG, gas processing and production facilities, where accurate modelling of complex multiphase separation behavior is critical to asset performance and operational reliability.
Commenting on the announcement, Michel Van Vorselen, Senior Director at MySep, said:
“Opening our Middle East office in Doha is an important milestone for MySep. The region plays a central role in global LNG and gas supply, and operators increasingly require more accurate separation modelling to support design decisions, plant optimisation and operational excellence. This investment reflects our long term commitment to the Middle East, to local technical collaboration, and to helping customers move beyond simplified models toward more rigorous gas-liquid-liquid separation, Digital Twin applications and data driven performance analysis.
Alongside the office opening, MySep has appointed Mohammad Yasser Ramzan as Managing Director of MySep Middle East. Based in Doha, Yasser will lead regional operations and customer engagement, strengthening MySep’s presence across Middle East oil and gas and LNG markets.
Yasser brings extensive experience in the regional energy sector, with a strong background in process engineering, operational support and project execution."
Yasser said:
“The Middle East presents a unique combination of large scale LNG facilities, complex operating envelopes and long asset lifecycles. Accurate separation modelling is increasingly essential for performance assessment, debottlenecking and reliable operations. Establishing a local MySep presence in Doha allows us to work closely with regional customers.”
The opening of MySep Middle East LLC further strengthens MySep’s global footprint, which includes the MySep Pte Ltd Singapore headquarter and offices in the Netherlands, and now a permanent presence in Doha, Qatar, supported by senior consultants and technical specialists in Belgium, the United States, United Kingdom and Italy. This global network enables MySep to deliver consistent technical support while maintaining close regional engagement with customers.
Presentation at Topsides UK 2025 – SPE Aberdeen: 11-12 November 2025
At last year’s Topsides UK conference, MySep Pte Ltd gave a presentation titled The Value of Topsides Process Digital Twins with Activated Rigorous Separation Modelling. This presentation focused on the value of embedding MySep Engine inside process simulator software, thus creating a digital twin of a production facility. This was demonstrated by analysing an existing production operation, revealing separation constraints and performing ‘what-if’ (optimisation) studies. MySep’s Eric Vos was able to demonstrate that rigorous separator modelling in process digital twins can show the value of optimising operations with upsides in $100s of millions per annum.
