What Middle East Programs Ask For
National oil companies in the region, such as Kuwait Oil Company, Saudi Aramco and ADNOC, prequalify contractor rigs against their own specifications. Deep gas and high-pressure wells push those specifications toward high hook loads, 15K pressure control and AC drives, which is why most of the land rigs listed here are 2000 HP and larger.
