SLB Limited (SLB) has been busy expanding its footprint in the Middle East, and Thursday brought another big win.
The company secured multi-year integrated well construction contracts from Saudi Aramco, supporting oil and gas development across Saudi Arabia.
Under the three-year agreements, with an option to extend for up to two additional years, SLB will provide end-to-end well construction services covering more than 450 wells.
The four contracts from Aramco each run for three years, with an option for up to two additional years, and expand the use of SLB's integrated well construction model across Saudi Arabia.
SLB's integrated well construction model combines digital drilling workflows with automated drilling, evaluation, fluids, cementing and completions services through a single technology-enabled approach.
The model is designed to improve efficiency, execution consistency and well performance across large-scale drilling programs.

The project is scheduled for completion within 19 months and will increase gross fluids-handling capacity to 548,000 barrels per day.
