ADNOC Drilling Company PJSC has secured a five-year contract worth up to $800 million from ADNOC Onshore. Under this agreement, ADNOC Drilling will provide integrated hydraulic fracturing services across both conventional and tight reservoirs, with operations beginning in Q3 2025.
The project will help boost production by improving flow in complex oilfields. The scope covers designing, executing, and evaluating multistage hydraulic fracturing treatments. These treatments allow oil and gas to move more freely through natural paths, which helps increase production rates.
The contract strengthens ADNOC Drilling’s role as a technology-driven energy service provider, building on its growing reputation for delivering innovative, safe, and efficient solutions.
Smarter Tools and Real-Time Intelligence
To maximise results, ADNOC Drilling will apply a suite of modern technologies. Its proprietary simulation software will guide each step of the fracturing process, helping raise flow rates and recovery. In addition, smart fluid systems will adjust instantly to changing reservoir conditions. These features aim to boost efficiency while also lowering environmental impact.
Moreover, the company will use automated pumping and blending units, which improve safety and reduce the need for field crews.
CEO Abdulla Ateya Al Messabi commented:
“This significant contract is a powerful endorsement of ADNOC Drilling’s expanding capabilities and our trusted partnership with ADNOC Onshore. It reflects our ability to deliver high-impact, technologically advanced fracturing services that will help unlock the UAE’s energy potential. As we continue our transformation, we are proud to support the nation’s strategic energy goals and reinforce our position as a leader in integrated drilling and completion solutions.”
Sustained Momentum and Strong Financial Outlook
This contract marks ADNOC Drilling’s fifth major deal in just over two months. Previous wins include a $1.63 billion IDS contract, an $806 million deal for three island rigs, and a $1.15 billion contract for two jack-up rigs. The company also added a $400 million backlog from recent acquisitions in Oman and Kuwait.
Financially, this deal supports ADNOC Drilling’s 2025 and 2026 revenue targets, while offering growth opportunities beyond 2027. Although final revenue will depend on service volume, the company expects this project to strengthen earnings and returns over time.
