NIDC Upgrading Drilling Gear

The National Iranian Drilling Company has allocated $23 million for upgrade drilling devices and equipment, a NIDC official said.
“Over 220 devices will be upgraded including fluid pumps, chart recorders and generators,” ISNA quoted Shahram Shamipour as saying.
Funds will help provide services to relevant companies and reduce technical malfunctions, Shamipour said.
“Thanks to the skills and technical knowhow of NIDC engineers and their peers from private firms several drilling devices and equipment were retooled and upgraded last year,” Shamipour said. In the past engineers and technicians had to be sent to other countries for training.
