The program is an essential enabler of our plans to considerably raise boring for conventional oil and gas in addition to considerably ramp up the number of unconventional wells, as we grow our oil production capability and also job to achieve gas self-sufficiency for the UAE.

" This major gear development programme cements ADNOC Drilling's placement as the largest boring business between East and the region's first completely Integrated Exploration Provider (IDS) company and also will certainly sustain ADNOC's target to accomplish a crude oil production capability of 5 million barrels per day by 2030."

The four new rigs gotten in November 2019 were produced in the UAE by National Oilwell Varco (NOV) as well as will be released in ADNOC's onshore areas, which currently contribute more than 50% of ADNOC's everyday Murban oil manufacturing capacity. Obtaining UAE-built rigs, underpins ADNOC's In-Country Worth strategy, aimed at the growth and diversity of the UAE's economy.
