The jack-up rigs are planned to be hired together with manpower and equipment and will be deployed at ADNOC’s offshore fields that account for approximately half of the firm’s production capacity.

The contracts form part of ADNOC’s plan to increase its crude oil production capacity to five million barrels per day by the end of this decade.

During the 15-year contracts, ADNOC Drilling’s rig fleet is expected to help in further unlocking the offshore oil and gas resources in Abu Dhabi.

UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC managing director and group CEO Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber said: “This world-leading investment will significantly expand our drilling activity to accelerate growth, drive value, and responsibly unlock the UAE’s resources in response to globally rising demand for energy.
