First-half revenue increased to more than $1.8 billion, surging 26 percent annually due to the expansion of operations across all business segments.

At the end of the second quarter, the company’s fleet consisted of 140 rigs – 136 owned and four lease-to-own land rigs – compared to 137 at the end of the first quarter.

Additionally, Adnoc Drilling was pre-qualified by state-backed Kuwait Oil Company in its contractors list, which supports the company’s ambitions to expand its drilling and oilfield services activities internationally.

The company has approved an interim dividend of $394 million, a 10 percent year-on-year increase.
