In a press statement, Milaha stated: “The resulting Qatar-owned value chain will be a joint service that enhances the expertise of a global multinational service firm like Schlumberger, as well as the leading Qatar-based multi-disciplined local service company like Milaha.”

Schlumberger is a provider of seismic acquisition and processing, artificial lifts, well completions and groundwater extraction, as well as well testing and directional drilling. It has been serving Qatar’s oil and gas sector for more than 70 years.

In February 2019, Qatar Petroleum signed agreements worth more than QR9bn ($2.47bn) with international oil and gas firms as part of a localisation programme to boost the domestic energy industry and reduce dependence on imports.
