According to the company, these technologies will enhance the efficiency of oil and gas operations within the region as well as neighbouring countries.

Schlumberger president of Saudi Arabia & Bahrain Ziad Jeha said: “It is with pride that we announce the inauguration of the Schlumberger Manufacturing Center in King Salman Energy Park.

“As the first upstream services company to establish a manufacturing centre in SPARK, we are enabling an agile fit-for-basin capability that links research, product development and now manufacturing to the needs of the Saudi Arabian market.”
