Global supplier of rig technology Canrig has opened its newly expanded manufacturing and repair facility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

On Thursday, May 11, Canrig hosted executives and customers onsite to participate in interactive demonstrations of the Automated Power Catwalk and to hear how Canrig can elevate drilling operations while providing regional value and support.

Located in Dammam, the 15,000 m2 facility provides regional value and support with new manufacturing builds and repair, recertification and rebuilding services for Canrig and third-party drilling equipment.

Built entirely in-kingdom using primarily locally manufactured parts, the Canrig Automated Power Catwalk virtually eliminates the manual handling of tubulars and optimizes personnel safety. The facility is equipped to produce more than 30 catwalks per year.

As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Canrig repairs, recertifies and upgrades a broad range of equipment types, including those produced by third party.
