Abu Dhabi, UAE— ADNOC Drilling Company Wednesday awarded a five-year $1.6 billion framework agreement for Integrated Drilling Fluids Services (IDFS) to support the expansion of ADNOC’s lower-cost and lower-carbon intensive production capacity.

The contract award brings the total value of awards confirmed by ADNOC Drilling in 2022 to $8.85 billion, of which $1.15 billion has been incremental to the company’s previously disclosed revenue guidance.

Abdulrahman Abdullah Al Seiari, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Drilling, commented, “This award, one of several multi-billion dollar long-term contracts that we have secured in 2022, reaffirms our strategic value to ADNOC not just as a drilling provider but as a major OFS player.

“Contracts of this scale help us to ensure that we deliver strong and sustained growth for the UAE and ADNOC Drilling’s shareholders. The addition of $750 million in above-guidance revenue solidifies that growth trajectory,” he said.
