NIDC Moves Ahead With Indigenization

The National Iranian Drilling Company in collaboration with domestic manufactures indigenized 242 more equipment and parts, the director of research, technology and engineering department at NIDC said.
“The equipment includes mud weight sensors, vibrating sieves, valve plates, cement heads, oil cooling batteries, core catchers, compressors and electric boxes,” Mehr News Agency quoted Mehdi Arshian as saying.
Six R&D contracts have been signed between the NIDC, universities and knowledge-based companies, including Shahid Beheshti University, Sharif University, and the Petroleum University of Technology to move the indigenization agenda forward, he added.
