Kuwait Drilling Company (KDC) and National Energy Services Reunited (NESR) have secured a $200 million contract for integrated drilling services in Jordan, covering an 80-well campaign over four years.

KDC will provide rigs and associated services, including rig operation, maintenance, and safety management, ensuring effective drilling execution and coordination with third-party providers.

Meanwhile, NESR will focus on well construction, utilising complementary services to minimise waste and non-productive time (NPT) throughout the project lifecycle, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Dr Abdulazeez Al-Rashed, Kuwait Drilling Company Chairman, commented: 'We are very proud of this award as it establishes the company to lead such integrated projects in Jordan and neighbouring countries. Following the initial campaign, we have demonstrated efficiency and fit for purpose set-up with NESR as our partner to deliver ten (10) lump sum turnkey (LSTK) wells. Our aim is to continue building on the success and relationship to have a solid offering to all our clients in the region.'

Sherif Foda, NESR CEO & Chairman, commented: 'This award represents strong continuation of our extremely fruitful collaboration with KDC on similar, integrated well delivery projects across the region. Alongside KDC, recent successes in Oman and Jordan have established our solid track record in the integrated services space, and in our view represent an optimal integrated model that avoids unnecessary balance sheet waste, standby charges or subsurface risk. This campaign in Jordan reflects KDC’s and NESR’s ability to leverage its integrated capabilities within an effective model that improves upon the project management pitfalls of the past within our sector.'
