One of the leading conglomerates in Saudi Arabia, the A1 Qahtani Group of Companies is enhancing its technical and technological expertise, building on more than half a century of experience in the oil and gas sector through strategic partnerships with leading international principals.
The oil and gas division is a three-dimensional operation, which provides technologies and products to the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry.
This model has been followed for more than half a century, enabling Al Qahtani to become one of the leading oilfield services companies in Saudi Arabia.
The inception of the company dates back to the early pioneering days of the oil industry after the discovery of oil in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
Late Sheikh Abdulhadi Abdullah A1 Qahtani founded the conglomerate, initially concentrating on oilfield services, with the group later expanding and diversifying into a range of activities including chemicals and minerals, communications, real estate, the wholesale and retail sector, soft drinks and travel.
The company is now spearheading development in each of its business areas and refocusing its proven expertise in oil and gas service ventures, drilling, water drilling equipment and services.
These extensive services are provided both onshore and offshore by A1 Qahtani Marine and Oilfield Services Company through exclusive alliances with global partners particularly in drilling, support services and equipment provision.
The alliances include one of the most experienced manufactures of a complete line of tools for setting and cementing liners over a wide range of depth, weights and sizes.
Its equipment has been used around the world on some of the deepest and most difficult wells in horizontal completions and deep-water applications.
The company is capable of providing any product or equipment combinations to meet the conditions of any wells anywhere.
It manufactures liner hangers, packers and a complete line of cementing equipment, in addition to tubing seal system and accessories, kellys and safety valves.
A1 Qahtani's another important partnership is with a leading manufacturer of drilling bits. It uses the best available technology to provide the right products and service in the right place at the right time.
The company is one of the main suppliers of complete line of drill bits and services, including mudpack and high-speed bits.
Its technology provides the balance of toughness and aggressiveness needed to drill large diametre holes at a high rate of penetration and the dependability that allows the bit on bottom longer.
A1 Qahtani also has a partnership with a prominent Canadian Company that designs, manufactures and markets cementing products to 60 countries.
Its products include cementing valve, heads, centraliser in different sizes from 2 3/8-inch - 34-inch in various grades of tubing and casing in addition to design new products specialised for highly deviated and horizontal casing spring.
A1 Qahtani Marine and Oilfield Services Company is the group's flagship company, specialising in every aspect of oilfield services, from state-of-the-art technology to turnkey projects in the oil, water and gas sectors.
Research and development has also enabled the company to develop and customise technologies to suit local climatic and environmental conditions.
The company's policy for success is founded on its partnerships with companies that rank among the top players in their field.
One of these giants is the largest and most diversified international contractor specialising in oil, gas and water pipelines, and which has operations in more than 50 countries.
The other one is a drilling specialist known worldwide for its directional drilling systems as well as unique multilateral systems such as LTSBC (lateral tieback system) and RMLSC (retrievable mufti lateral system).
Al Qahtani Marine and Oilfield Services Company remains one of the kingdom's leading oil and gas service providers. It seeks to redefine its vision as a global player.
