NIDC to Reinforce Presence in Persian Gulf Waters 

The National Iranian Drilling Company plans to strengthen its presence in the Persian Gulf waters in the near future by renovating three offshore drilling rigs, managing director of the National Iranian Drilling Company said.
“NIDC currently has three drilling rigs in the Persian Gulf, which have become unproductive due to the wear and tear of equipment, hence they will be replaced with three new rigs,” Hamidreza Golpayegani was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
Speaking about the recent activities of NIDC, he said, “The company has increased the number of active drilling rigs from 56 last [fiscal] year [March 2021-22] to 64 rigs at present.”
