DAMMAM, Saudi Arabia – Schlumberger has opened a manufacturing center in the King Salman Energy Park (SPARK), intended to support Saudi Aramco’s In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) program to promote economic growth in Saudi Arabia.
The new complex will manufacture well completions technologies including liner hangers and packers and isolation valve technologies, such as GROVE valves and ORBIT rising stem ball valves.
Under the first phase, which extends across 105,000 sq m (1.1 million sq ft), Schlumberger will create more than 200 new jobs over the next few years and develop a skilled manufacturing and supply chain workforce for oil and gas products and services within the region.
