Adnoc Drilling has secured a new five-year contract valued at up to USD 800 million from Adnoc Onshore to provide integrated hydraulic fracturing services across Abu Dhabi’s conventional and tight reservoirs.
According to a company disclosure, the agreement will commence this quarter and forms part of Adnoc’s broader strategy to enhance flow rates and maximize hydrocarbon recovery from its onshore assets.
Advanced Fracturing Technology to Drive Efficiency
As part of the contract, Adnoc Drilling will be responsible for the design, execution, and evaluation of all hydraulic fracturing treatments. The company plans to deploy a cutting-edge technology stack that includes:
- Proprietary fracturing simulation software
- Intelligent fluid systems that respond dynamically to reservoir conditions
- Automated pumping and blending units
This tech-first approach is expected to optimize fracture performance, reduce environmental impact, and minimize on-site personnel requirements, reinforcing Adnoc Drilling’s commitment to operational efficiency and sustainability.
A Surge in Contract Wins
This marks Adnoc Drilling’s fifth major contract award in just over two months. Recent milestones include:
- A USD 1.6 billion integrated drilling services contract from Adnoc Offshore
- A USD 806 million contract for three island rigs
- A USD 1.15 billion, 15-year deal for two jack-up rigs
- A USD 400 million backlog stemming from recent acquisitions in Oman and Kuwait
The latest award underscores Adnoc Drilling’s expanding regional footprint and strategic alignment with Adnoc Group’s upstream development goals, particularly amid heightened global demand for energy security and output maximization.
