NIDC Expanding Cooperation With Local Firms

Drawing on domestic firms’ expertise and using indigenous goods and services are high priorities for promoting knowledge-based firms, said the managing director of the National Iranian Drilling Company, a subsidiary of the National Iranian Oil Company.
“Collaborations with local firms have helped NIDC indigenize more than 20,000 pieces and parts over the last four decades,” Hamidreza Golpayegani was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s newswire.
“The indigenized equipment, accounting for almost 80% of the industry's needs, include drilling mud pumps, blowout preventers, traction motors, draw-works, drilling fluid recycling systems, mission centrifugal pumps, top drives and drilling rig pressure systems,” he said.
