Over the years, Dyas has become a well-established entity, participating in the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons. Dyas is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SHV Holdings N.V., a family-owned Dutch multinational (www.shv.nl). SHV was founded in 1896 through a merger between a number of large coal trading companies. Dyas, with the backing of its parent SHV, is a strong and reliable financial partner, with the staying power to take the long-term view in each of its projects.
