WOOD Flash – Arabian Drilling: better than we Fracking expected

Arabian Drilling has announced that it has been awarded contracts from Saudi Aramco for drilling services in the Jafurah unconventional block. The contracts are for 10 land rigs over five years, which is more than we had expected. At the end of 1Q23, the company had 35 land rigs in operation, so the contract is a significant addition to its business. Management expects these contracts to begin to affect revenues in the second quarter of 2024E. Jafurah is a huge shale gas field that is a major plank in Aramco’s local strategy and, therefore, has significant potential for further growth.
