Weatherford International has announced the award of contracts in GCC as part of its First Quarter 2026 results.
In UAE, a National Oil Company awarded Weatherford a two-year contract to provide Well Services. Further, Agiba Petroleum Company (Eni JV) awarded Weatherford two year contract for Artificial Lift downhole pumps in Egypt.
In Saudi Arabia, Weatherford set a new global record for extended-reach Wireline work, logging 29,121 ft measured depth with the Compact Well Shuttle system. The run surpassed Weatherford’s 2024 mark and shows stronger capability to evaluate long, highly deviated wells without relying on traditional conveyance.
Weatherford successfully executed the first rigless thru-tubing sand-control gravel-pack operation in Saudi Arabia, restoring a gas well that has been shut-in due to sand production to be fully sand-free without the need for a workover rig. The successful deployment validated the simplicity and effectiveness of our technology, and it is expected to become a recurring implementation.
In Oman, Weatherford advanced its digital portfolio by deploying Electric Submersible Pump (“ESP”) Predictive Analytics in collaboration with Petroleum Development Oman within the ForeSite Well Management System, moving the technology from pilot to operational use. The integration of ForeSite® with PetroVisor’s machine-learning framework delivered on-premise to meet stringent cybersecurity requirements, enabled predictive ESP through failure forecasting, run-life estimation, and real-time performance insights. This deployment strengthens Weatherford’s position in AI-driven production optimization and establishes a scalable foundation for broader digital expansion across the region.
