Our extensive experience in these operating conditions prepares us to provide service in GCC countries and across the region. KDC operates drilling rigs ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 HP, and workover rigs from 750 to 1,500 HP, covering a wide range of drilling and workover needs for development and deep exploratory wells.
Our diverse and modern rig fleet is made up of VFD and SCR rigs, built or refurbished in the last 10 years, many of them equipped with 7,500 psi circulating systems, and upgraded to include pad-drilling capabilities.
