Aramco Taps Schlumberger for Gas Drilling

摘要

State-owned oil giant Saudi Aramco signed a $1.5 billion deal on Wednesday with US-based service firm Schlumberger to drill for onshore gas under a long-term agreement. The deal was signed during Aramco’s In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) conference in the hydrocarbon-rich Eastern Province. The lump-sum turnkey agreement agreement with Schlumberger’s drilling unit will be for the drilling of gas in the kingdom’s giant onshore Ghawar field.
