Adnoc Drilling secured a contract worth up to USD 800 mn from Adnoc Onshore for integrated hydraulic fracturing services for conventional and tight reservoirs, according to a disclosure (pdf). The five-year agreement, slated to begin this quarter, will support Adnoc’s efforts to boost flow rates and hydrocarbon recovery rates across assets in Abu Dhabi.
