National Drilling Company NDC شركة الحفر الوطنية 5.58

National Drilling Company (NDC) was the first venture among ADNOC Group of Companies. NDC was established in May 1972 under the resolution of the Abu Dhabi Council of Ministers to embark on drilling oil wells in the Emirate. The Company began drilling for ADCO with land rig ND-01. In order to cope with the increasing demand for oil throughout the world, NDC has strengthened its capabilities by acquiring new technologies and adding more rigs to its fleet. Today, NDC owns a fleet of 10 offshore rigs, 16 onshore rigs and five water well rigs, all equipped with ultramodern technologies. The company plans to increase its number of rigs, and to enhance its existing fleet by following a major enhancement programme termed “RIAP” – Rig Integrity Assurance Programme.
