UAE’s Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has awarded framework agreements to four oilfield services providers valued at $1.94 billion to enable drilling growth in its operations.
The awards build on ADNOC’s recent record investments in drilling-related equipment and services, support its strategy to boost crude oil production capacity to 5 million barrels per day (mmbpd) by 2030, and drive gas self-sufficiency for the UAE, ADNOC explained in a statement on Thursday.
According to the UAE’s giant, the framework agreements for wireline logging and perforation services are the largest of such awards in the oil and gas industry and were awarded to ADNOC Drilling, Schlumberger, Haliburton, and Weatherford, following a competitive tender process. Wireline logging involves continuously measuring the properties of rock formations to guide drilling operations while perforation creates tunnels in the wellbore to allow fluid to flow in from the reservoir.
The framework agreement awards cover ADNOC’s onshore and offshore fields and will run for five years with an option for a further two years. The selected companies will work to identify local manufacturing opportunities and create employment opportunities for UAE Nationals.
It is worth reminding that ADNOC Drilling, Schlumberger, and Halliburton last year secured contracts with ADNOC related to integrated rigless services across six of its artificial islands in the Upper Zakum and Satah Al Razboot (SARB) fields.
