“Adnoc Onshore is a valued and long-standing customer and this contract award further extends a 50-year profitable and unique partnership,” Abdulrahman Abdullah al-Seiari, CEO of Adnoc Drilling, said in a statement to the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), where the company’s shares began trading from 3 October.

In July, Adnoc Drilling was awarded a $228.71m offshore drilling contract by another Adnoc Group subsidiary Adnoc Offshore. The contract was among three contracts worth $763.7m that Adnoc Offshore awarded for the provision of integrated rigless services across six of its artificial islands in the Upper Zakum and Satah al-Razboot (Sarb) offshore fields.

More recently, in November, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) Group announced awarding $6bn-worth of major contracts to enhance drilling operations across its upstream developments, as it seeks to boost its crude oil production capacity to 5 million barrels a day by 2030.

Adnoc Drilling raised more than $1.1bn in September from its initial public offering.
