Abu Dhabi-listed NMDC Group said its newly-launched subsidiary has acquired a majority stake in Emdad, a local oilfield services company.

The acquisition enables NMDC LTS, a wholly owned technical services company, to expand into the oilfield management segment in the UAE, the company said in a statement.

No financial details of the deal were given.

Emdad reported revenues of over AED600 million ($163 million) in 2024. NMDC LTS, launched in December 2024, serves regional construction logistics and technical services operators.

In February, the NMDC Group said revenues surged 57 percent year-over-year to AED26 billion in 2024.

Net profit climbed 44 percent year on year to AED3 billion last year, underpinned by expansions into East and Southeast Asia and the award of a large-scale contract for a subsea pipeline in Taiwan.

In the same month, NMDC Energy, a subsidiary that trades on the Abu Dhabi stock exchange, announced plans to expand its renewable energy business in Southeast Asia and Europe. 

The company’s stock closed nearly 1 percent lower at AED26.1 on Tuesday. The group is backed by Alpha Dhabi Holding, the investment subsidiary of Abu Dhabi-headquartered International Holding Company.
