ADNOC Drilling wins two jackup contracts offshore Kuwait

ADNOC Drilling received letters of award from Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) for two high-specification jackup rigs to operate offshore Kuwait. The Kuwait Petroleum Corporation Higher Procurement Committee approved the two contracts, which were issued for the provision and operation of Rig 1 and Rig 2.

Each contract has a four-year firm term including mobilization, plus a one-year option. Operations are expected to begin in Q4 2027. ADNOC Drilling plans to deploy one jackup it owns and to bareboat charter the second.

The awards mark ADNOC Drilling’s entry into offshore Kuwait and its first offshore rig operations outside the UAE.
