NEWSCO, a Sawafi Company, has achieved approval as a local vendor for Directional Drilling Services, marking a significant milestone in the company's growth and expanding its ability to support one of the world's most demanding energy markets.
The qualification follows a series of successful directional drilling and measurement-while-drilling (MWD) operations across multiple applications. Leveraging advanced MWD and performance drilling systems, NEWSCO delivered drilling engineering packages, maintained optimal wellbore conditions with casing successfully run to bottom, and completed operations without non-productive time (NPT) or HSE incidents.
The achievement reflects the strength of the company's technical expertise, execution discipline, and collaborative approach in meeting customer objectives while maintaining the highest standards of safety and operational excellence.
As a subsidiary of Alturki Holding, Sawafi continues to strengthen local capabilities and contribute to the Kingdom's energy sector through specialized drilling technologies and services. More than a qualification, this milestone reflects our commitment to Saudi Vision 2030 by strengthening local capabilities, local ownership, and lasting in-Kingdom value.
