Arabian Drilling was recognized as the ‘Best Drilling Contractor – Saudi Arabia 2022’ and the ‘Most Innovative Drilling Company – Saudi Arabia 2022’ at the award ceremony.

The company said that the awards are a testimonial to the epic transformation journey they had last year. The company also said there are many more innovations to come in future.

“We think that when it comes to drilling, the innovation is not about a year, but it’s how we’re going to be drilling in the next ten to 20 years. It is all about digitalization and mechanization, and we are focusing on upgrading it as people in the drilling industry face high atmospheric pressure, high temperature, heavy loads, so it remains a bit of a dangerous place,” Arabian Drilling added.
