Schlumberger open a new reservoir completions manufacturing center in Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The new center, located in the Dammam Industrial City represents an investment of approximately $25M in state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, facility lease and inventory and houses a team of design and manufacturing engineers specialized in the production of customized downhole reservoir completions equipment.

The center provides a collaborative environment in which joint oil company and Schlumberger teams can develop and manufacture completions solutions for applications across the range of reservoir types found in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.

Manufacturing operations will begin with a number of products for immediate application in Saudi Arabia. These include single wire-wrapped screens with a unique shrink-fit design, inflow control devices for production wells, and injection control devices to control the profile of water injection wells. Many of these technologies have already been successfully installed based on joint efforts between Saudi Aramco and Schlumberger to achieve maximum reservoir contact and associated production goals.

The center will draw on expertise and support from the company’s worldwide network of 20 research and engineering facilities in 12 countries.
