National Drilling Company

Drilling services provider National Drilling Company (NDC), an ADNOC Group company, has carved out a name for itself of being the sole company managing the Emirati oil giant’s extensive drilling operations and meeting complex onshore and offshore needs. The company has achieved prominence as a drilling contractor due to its capabilities in drilling, electric logging, and wire line. Since 2010, when NDC had 28 rigs, it has expanded its operations in response to customer demand, with about 94 rigs in its fleet currently. Since Rig ND-1 was deployed in 1973, NDC’s drilling fleet has drilled over 7,000 wells. NDC, notably, also runs a Drilling Training Centre that trains young Emiratis for oil and gas operational roles.
