ADNOC Drilling awards $75m Newbuild Hybrid Power Land Rigs

ADNOC Drilling Company PJSC (ADNOC Drilling) announced in a statement that it has signed a $75 million agreement for the purchase of six newbuild hybrid power land rigs.

The six newbuild hybrid power rigs will be built by Honghua Golden Coast and will progressively enter the fleet from the second quarter of 2024, with partial revenue and EBITDA contribution from 2024 and full year contribution from all rigs in 2025.

With this new award, and following an announcement in March detailing an agreement for 10 newbuild hybrid power rigs, ADNOC Drilling has ordered a total of 16 newbuild hybrid power land rigs year-to-date. All of these newbuild rigs are part of the medium-term guidance to get to an owned-rig count of 142 by the end of 2024.

Abdulrahman Abdullah Al Seiari, Chief Executive Officer, ADNOC Drilling, commented: “As we implement our bold fleet expansion plan, we are working to ensure that growth comes with the delivery of our decarbonization commitments.

“The sixteen newbuild hybrid rigs ordered so far this year are central to ADNOC Drilling’s rigorous decarbonization strategy and our commitment to support ADNOC’s target to reduce greenhouse gas intensity by 25% by 2030, as well as the UAE Net Zero by 2050 strategic
