I will now hand over to your host, Max Cominelli, Vice President of Investor Relations, to begin. Please go ahead.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to ADNOC Drilling's Q1 2025 Earnings Webcast Conference Call. My name is Max Cominelli, Vice President of Investor Relations. As always, before handing the floor over to our main speakers, I would like to draw your attention to the disclaimer that you will find on the second slide, which I encourage you to read carefully. The text contains important information, advising caution on the interpretation and limits of historical data, and forward-looking statements. I would like to remind you that this presentation and the recording of this call will be available on our website shortly after the end of the call. Today's presenters are our Chief Executive Officer, Abdulrahman Abdulla Al Seiari, and our Chief Financial Officer, Youssef Salem. After the presentation, we will have a Q&A session where we will be happy to answer your questions.
I will now hand over to our CEO, Mr. Abdulrahman, who will lead you through strategic developments and the key highlights of the quarter.
Thank you, Max. [Foreign language] to all and good day. Now, I would like to begin by emphasizing that ADNOC Drilling's unique business model provides exceptional resiliency and long-term visibility in terms of financial performance. This stands out particularly in the current volatile times. Our revenue remains underpinned by the long-term stable contracts that are largely derived from oil price and market movements. This has enabled us to consistently deliver strong earnings. Since our IPO in 2021, we have more than doubled our net profit, reaching $1.3 billion in 2024, and we expect even further growth this year. We also have an industry-leading EBITDA margin, above 50% in our conventional business. Our progressive dividend policy provides unmatched visibility, offering at least 10% annual growth till 2028, and we expect to pay at least around $870 million in 2025.
Finally, with the expansion of our fleet, the growth of oilfield services, and our new joint ventures such as Turnwell and Enersol, we are well positioned to capitalize on future opportunities. This is fully aligned with ADNOC's broader upstream growth target, including reaching 5 million barrels per day of oil production capacity by 2027 and the UAE gas self-sufficiency by 2030. As you may have seen, we have recently announced a contract for over $800 million for three additional new island rigs, which we expect to gradually join the fleet between 2027 and 2028. This milestone furthers our commitment to continued growth and supports our medium-term target of 151 plus rigs by 2028 in Abu Dhabi and beyond. Now, moving on to the quarter, I'm proud to share with you that ADNOC Drilling has delivered another strong quarter to start the year.
Revenue for the first quarter increased 32% year-on-year, reaching $1.17 billion. EBITDA rose 22% year-on-year to $533 million, and the net profit increased 24% year-on-year to $341 million. Operationally, our rig fleet size stood at 142 rigs, and the rig availability remained strong at 96% during the period. Also importantly, on safety, our TRIR stood at 0.58 for the quarter versus a target of 0.61. In the oil field services, revenue grew 134% year-on-year to $342 million, with 57 IDS rigs and another 48 rigs with discrete services. We had many key milestones during the quarter. Firstly, we had $152 million in the unconventional revenue during the quarter, as we continue to execute on phase one of the unconventional program. Secondly, Enersol completed the acquisition of a 95% stake in Deep Well Services.
Also, in April 2025, we distributed the final dividend for 2024 of $394 bringing the total 2024 dividend payout to 788 million, reflecting our consistent commitment to delivering value to our shareholders. Finally, we also achieved a 23% improvement in IDS drilling efficiency compared to our 2024 benchmark, delivering enhanced value to our customers. Next slide, please. Our future growth is being driven by three clear strategic pillars. First, Enersol. Since its launch, it has successfully completed four acquisitions: Gordon Technologies, NTS Amega, EV, and most recently, Deep Well Services. These transactions represent around $800 million in investment for Enersol and significantly strengthen ADNOC Drilling's technology capabilities across drilling, completion, diagnostic, and analytics. Looking ahead, we expect to deploy the remainder of Enersol's committed capital during 2025, further reinforcing our position as a diverse, technology-focused oilfield services leader. Second, unconventional resources development.
Through Turnwell, we have made substantial progress and successfully drilled 34 unconventional wells by the end of the first quarter since phase one began in 2024. The $1.7 billion contract is progressing strongly and will serve as a foundation for potential phase two, which could involve thousands of wells over the coming years. Third, regional expansion. We continue to broaden our footprint. With one rig already operating in Jordan, we also continue to target Oman and Kuwait and will provide updates in due course as these opportunities evolve. As always, I remain confident in ADNOC Drilling's future as we continue to advance the UAE's energy ambition. With that, I will now hand over to our CFO, Youssef, who will provide more insight into our operational and financial performance for the period.
Thank you, Mr. Abdulrahman. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining today's earnings call. Operational excellence continues to be a cornerstone of ADNOC Drilling's strategy, reflected in the consistent strong performance on our rigs and in OFS. At the end of March, we operated a fleet of 142 rigs, consisting of 95 onshore and 47 offshore, a 4% year-on-year increase of our own fleet. Rig availability remained strong at 96% during the quarter, further highlighting the strength of operational execution. As for the two jack-ups which joined the fleet at the end of Q4 2024, they're expected to contribute to revenue not earlier than towards the end of Q2 , with limited contribution in the first half. Oilfield services continued its strong momentum. IDS was performed on 57 rigs in the quarter, compared to 49 rigs in Q1 of 2024.
In parallel, discrete services were offered on 48 rigs, bringing total OFS coverage to 105 rigs, representing over 70% of our drilling fleet. In terms of efficiency, we achieved a 23% overall improvement in IDS drilling efficiency in Q1 2025 compared to the 2024 benchmark. This improvement directly enhances project economics for our customers and strengthens our competitive advantage. On the unconventional side, Turnwell successfully drilled 34 unconventional wells in phase one till the end of Q1, drilling wells in as few as 15 days safely and efficiently. I'm also proud to share that ADNOC has reached a significant milestone producing and treating the UAE's first gas from an unconventional gas reservoir, a major achievement for both the country and ADNOC Drilling. This breakthrough was made possible through Turnwell, our unconventional joint venture with SLB and Patterson-UTI.
This was accomplished by deploying cutting-edge AI, digital tools, and advanced fracking techniques tailored for the UAE's subsurface conditions and including technologies from Enersol. This transformational achievement showcases the UAE's remarkable progress in utilizing its vast unconventional gas potential into reality, ensuring a sustainable energy future. These initial wells are just the beginning in a campaign that could see thousands of wells drilled across the country as part of a potential upcoming phase two of the unconventional program. Next slide, please. I am pleased to report that ADNOC Drilling delivered another strong quarter, demonstrating the strength and resilience of our business model. Revenue for Q1 reached $1.17 billion, an increase of 32% compared to the same period last year. This was supported by higher activity across all business lines, fleet expansion, and growing contributions from our oilfield services segment.
Quarter-on-quarter revenue increased around 7% after adjusting for fewer calendar days in Q1 and excluding approximately $80 million from Q4 of 2024, which we previously disclosed back in February, mainly related to activity phasing in OFS and certain cost reimbursements in onshore. Unconventional overall contributed to revenue in Q1, $152 compared to 117 million in Q4, spread 80/20 between OFS and onshore. EBITDA grew by 22% year-on-year to $533 million, with a margin of 46%. For the conventional business, our EBITDA margin stood at an extraordinary 51%. This performance reflects our continued focus on operational efficiency and disciplined cost management. Net profit increased by 24% year-on-year to $341 million, translating into a net margin of 29%, of which 32% for the conventional business.
Strong profitability was complemented by excellent cash generation, where cash from operations totaled $521 million, up 50% year-on-year, driven by higher profits and increased collections. CapEx during the quarter were $91 million, consistent with our plans. We also contributed $94 million cash to Enersol for the acquisition of the 95% equity stake in Deep Well Services at the end of Q1 . Our balance sheet remained healthy and resilient, with net debt standing at $2.1 billion and the net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1x, maintaining significant headroom to fund our growth ambitions and distributions. As you are aware, starting from this quarter, we have consolidated our offshore jack-up and offshore island businesses into a single offshore segment. This new structure better reflects the way we manage our operations, leverage synergies across our offshore assets, and position the business for future growth.
It also aligns more closely with our customers' contracting structures. Accordingly, from this quarter onward, we will present three operating segments: onshore, offshore, and oil field services. Now, let's look at revenue for the various segments. Next slide, please. Starting with onshore, first quarter revenue increased 20% year-on-year to $494 million compared to $411 million. This growth was driven primarily by new land rigs entering operations, as well as a $30 million contribution from unconventional activity related to land drilling in Q1. Sequentially, onshore revenue declined by 11% compared to Q4 , mainly due to certain cost reimbursements that benefited Q4 , as well as the impact of two fewer calendar days in Q1 . Moving to offshore, revenue increased to $334 million, growing 2% year-on-year, supported by the reactivation of island rigs to the Hail and Ghasha project.
Sequentially, offshore revenue increased 4% as Q4 had higher major maintenance for a few weeks. I would also like to highlight that two jack-ups added to the fleet in Q4 of last year are expected to contribute to revenue not earlier than the end of the Q2 of this year, hence expect limited contribution in Q2. Oil field services delivered another outstanding quarter, with Q1 revenue more than doubling year-on-year to $342 million, up 134%. This growth reflects the increasing contribution from the unconventional business, which delivered $122 million in revenue, as well as from increased IDS and discrete services. Quarter-on-quarter, revenue increased 9% to $342 from 313 million, mainly driven by higher unconventional and IDS activity.
Important to highlight that revenue increased despite the positive phasing in the fourth quarter of approximately $50 million related to directional drilling and pressure pumping discussed earlier. Next slide, please. Turning to EBITDA, onshore EBITDA increased 29% year-on-year to $246 million, driven by revenue growth and strong cost management, leading to a margin expansion by 4 percentage points to 50%. Sequentially, onshore EBITDA declined by 14%, driven primarily by revenue trends mentioned earlier, which was impacted by certain cost reimbursements in Q4 of last year and fewer operations days in Q1 2025. Moving on to offshore, EBITDA grew 11% year-on-year to $236 million, with margins expanding by 6 percentage points to a market-leading 71%. Sequentially, offshore EBITDA increased by 3%, driven by higher revenue. OFS EBITDA rose 50% year-on-year due to higher revenue, which was driven by the unconventional business and lower margin discrete services activity mix.
The segment's EBITDA was also supported by the positive contribution from ADNOC Drilling Joint Ventures, Enersol, and Turnwell. Sequentially, EBITDA decreased 38% compared to Q4 . However, excluding the positive phasing from Q4 of 2024, EBITDA would have decreased by single-digit due to a more favorable activity mix in the previous quarter, characterized by more directional drilling. Next slide, please. Let me now turn to our guidance and outlook. Following another strong quarter, we are pleased to reaffirm our full-year 2025 and medium-term guidance. This showcases the strength and great resilience of our business against recent market volatility. For Q2 , you should expect revenue in line with the current quarter and stable EBITDA and net profit margins.
For the second half of the year, it is advisable to consider a figure around the midpoint of the annual guidance, which is $4.7 billion revenue, subtract the first half of 2025, and divide it by two, assuming roughly equal quarters for Q3 and Q4. We will offer more precise guidance on the second half during Q2 Earnings Call. In conclusion, we remain strongly bullish about the opportunities that lie ahead, particularly the contributions and growth expected from Turnwell and Enersol. Also, the recent announcement of three additional island rigs set to join the fleet gradually between 2027 and 2028 represents a defining achievement. With a total of six island rig contracts awarded over the last year, we are well positioned to maintain a strong and sustainable growth trajectory, ensuring continued excellence in our performance.
Building on our solid cash flow generation and ample financial headroom, we remain committed to delivering on our growth ambitions while consistently delivering sustained value to our shareholders. Thank you. I now hand over to Mr. Abdulrahman Abdulla Al Seiari for closing remarks.
Thank you, Youssef. To conclude, I'm pleased with ADNOC Drilling's strong momentum as we continue to demonstrate the strength of our business model, operational excellence, and clear strategic focus. We enter 2025 with confidence, and today's results reaffirm that trajectory. We have achieved solid growth across all key financial metrics, with revenue, EBITDA, and the net profit all increasing significantly year-on-year. The final dividend payment of $394 million in April 2025 has brought our full-year 2024 dividends to $788 million, or you can say it is AED 0.181 per share, further reinforcing our commitment to delivering long-term shareholder value.
Looking ahead, we expect 2025 dividends to grow by at least 10% from the 2024 level. The success of ADNOC Drilling's joint ventures, Turnwell and Enersol, positions us strongly for future growth and continued innovation. Importantly, all of this has been achieved while maintaining a strong commitment to HSE and sustainability, which remains at the core of our operations. As we move forward, we remain focused on achieving our 2025 guidance, building on our strategic foundations, and reinforcing our position as the largest and fastest-growing energy services company in the Middle East. Thank you all for joining us today. I will now hand over to the moderator to open the Q&A session. [Foreign language] .
Thank you. If you wish to ask a question, please press star followed by one on your telephone keypad now.
If for any reason you want to remove your question from the queue, please press star followed by two. When preparing to ask your question, please ensure your device is unmuted locally. Our first question comes from Ricardo Rezende from Morgan Stanley. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Hello. Good afternoon, and thanks for taking my question. I have a couple of them. The first one, just to follow up on the unconventional part of things, you mentioned that 34 wells that you have drilled so far. Would you be able to give us a bit more color just how things are going according to your original plans and how far you think you are with the results that you had on having some more visibility on the second, potential second phase of unconventional? And then my second question is on dividends.
We've seen now the announcement on quarterly payments, and it's been almost a year since you updated your policy. You do have some flexibility on guaranteeing a floor to dividend growth, but would you consider having another revision on your dividend policy anytime in 2025? Thank you.
Thank you, Ricardo. Appreciate the question. And unconventional, for sure, we have very positive progress. As you have said, probably we've been delivering efficient wells. We are talking about almost improvement in well duration, average of probably 40%, 50%, which is very positive. I'm sure clients are looking at it very positively. On the completion side, we started, and again, we are progressing very well in a number of stages that we are being able to do per day. So that's also moving positive, and there is more work to be done.
Unconventional requires a lot of change practices that is happening as we talk, and the team that we have assigned to this. I mean, they are all experts into that area, and hopefully, we will be seeing better results as we go also. Regarding the second part of the same question, I mean, on the second phase, I think still there is more work to be done. We're almost at 30% of the drilling activities, probably 10% of the completion activities. But once we go both together more confidently, we can probably talk about phase two. With regard to dividends, for sure, I mean, something that we continuously look at ways that we can create value to our shareholders, and that's one of the main reasons that we address the subject of dividends.
And in previous calls, I recall, I mean, every now and then, the same question comes to us, and we pass the feedbacks to our board, to our stakeholders, so they also take that into consideration. Youssef, you would like to add anything?
No, I agree, Mohammad. And Ricardo, the short answer to your question about what we consider in 2025, the answer is yes. I think, as you said, over the last year, we've looked at the different parts of the policy, so the frequency increasing it from semi-annual to quarterly, the number of years extending it to five years, the growth increasing it from 5% to 10%, adding a discretionary component on top of the floor. So probably now, out of the five key pieces, the real piece that's missing now is the actual dividend base itself.
That's something we're always looking at, and now as well with a quarterly dividend. Already, the dividend was a quarterly discussion as part of every board, and now even more so with a quarterly dividend being authorized now in every board. And that's why we're very specific with the language around the $270 million being for Q1 being the number, but for the remaining quarters being a floor as opposed to being the number itself. And then the number will be finalized in every quarter.
Okay. That's clear. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Alina Kishmeria from UBS. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Good day. Thank you very much for taking my question. I have several. First will be on oilfield services, EBITDA margin.
You highlighted that the decline was related to the mix of activities, but if you can expand a bit more on that and what should we expect for the future quarters, do we expect an improvement there? That would be very helpful. And then the questions around how the recent spike in global uncertainties could impact your international plans. You reiterated the plan to fully invest in Enersol by the year end, but if you can provide some color on how the market activity looks like, whether I remember with full-year results, there was a discussion that the market is a bit quiet and you expected the improvement in the activity later in the year. Is it still the case? And around your international expansion in Oman and Kuwait, what do you see? Do you see any implications from this current tariff discussion and global uncertainty? Thank you.
I would take the subject of the M&As. For sure, I mean, it is more attractive today with the current situation. Probably it is going to be more attractive to get more into the pipeline. Definitely, we have a number of potential M&As that we are looking at, and for sure, we will capitalize on the current market situation. Probably in history, if you recall, we talked about it probably the first earnings call. Whoever there would remember on the rigs that we have, jack-ups, during COVID, during different timing, we managed to get very attractive offers, so similarly, I think we'll capitalize on that. Growth to Oman and Kuwait is potential. Today, we have live tenders coming in for us to bid.
We are looking at all those very seriously, and I think in the very near future, you will be hearing more about that activities building up in the company. And hopefully, it will take us to the next level also as not only we are operating in Abu Dhabi, we are operating in the region, and inshallah in the international. The oilfield part, I will ask Youssef to address, and if you want to add anything to the other questions she asked.
For sure, Mohammad. Anna on the margins, on the conventional oilfield side, that continues to operate within the core 22%-26% EBITDA margin guidance that we have, and we see it remaining within that range.
The unconventional piece is operating at that kind of high single-digit EBITDA margin, and that's basically a function of because phase one is only initially for a couple of years, and hence we're relying mostly on rented equipment and other shorter-term resources. Once effectively we obtain the long-term contract for phase two, then that would switch into margin levels, which would resemble more the conventional margins. So we expect that for 2024 and 2025, that blend between conventional and unconventional would remain the same, and then 2025 and 2026, and then starting 2027, as we move into a potential phase two to revert back into the full margins for the oilfield.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Afeef Fahmy from International Securities. The line is now open. Please go ahead.
Hello. Good afternoon, and congratulations for another great quarter.
Just a couple of things. One on CapEx, which was below $60 million in Q1 . Just wondering when we should expect the CapEx for this year to pick up. And secondly, just to follow up on Enersol, you've mentioned potential transactions in 2025, but I just wanted to see if there is any scope to increase the contribution to beyond $1.5 billion if the right opportunities are found, and if there have been any discussions around that. Thank you.
Thank you, Abba. Again, I'll take the easy part and lead the others. No, with regard to the Enersol, for sure, I mean, we started different discussions with our partners to increase beyond 1.5 also, I mean, because there is so much potential, opportunities are there, and technologies that we are eager to bring into the region. That's something for sure will be worked more as we go forward.
And regarding the CapEx.
Yes, the CapEx in the second half will be higher. So we continue to be on track for our organic CapEx guidance of $350-550 this year, and Q1 came in line with the expectations towards that. The reason the second half would be higher is we've just been awarded at the beginning of this week the three additional island rigs from ADNOC Offshore, which would be arriving in 2027 and 2028. We've already issued from our side the letter of award to the contractor who is actually going to be building these rigs. And so the meaningful accrual for this award will start to happen in the second half of the year, and that's why the second half will be a bit higher than the first half. But overall, we will be within the $350-550 range guidance that we provide.
Understood. And just to confirm on that, the 151 rigs for 2028, does that include the latest awarded contract for three island rigs?
Correct. Correct. Correct.
So basically, we have the guidance of 148 by 2026 and then 151 by 2028. So the three additional coming in 2027 and 2028 to bridge the 148 to the 151 are these three rigs.
Understood. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Reuben Dewa from Jefferies. The line is now open. Please go ahead.
Hi, Abdulrahman, Youssef, thank you very much for taking my question. I just had one follow-up on the island rigs that you mentioned. So will the majority of the CapEx be spent this year, or will it be next year? I'm just wondering on the quantum for that.
I was just wondering on the kind of the number of rigs that you'll need for ADNOC to be able to reach their 5 million barrels per day target. Will the 146 be enough or 148 or 151 that you mentioned? Thank you very much.
Thank you, Robin. The number of rigs, I mean, for the 5 million we have highlighted previously in what we have today, 142 that we guided probably a few years before, and we have all those rigs for the P5. For sure, as we go, there may be potential for additional rigs.
Today, when we are saying we're expecting up to 2028, we will be approximately 151 rigs, mainly building from 142, and then we have the six island rigs that we have awarded three last year, three hopefully now, and then we are building additional possibility that we can add additional rigs, whether it is unconventional or the growth external to Abu Dhabi, so with that respect, maybe it's going to be more than 151 also. It depends how aggressive we will be going out on the regional growth. As I mentioned earlier, we have tenders in hand that we are going to bid. I will find the mechanism to really secure those additional rigs, hopefully, but definitely on the P5, all the resources are available, and we are working for that to deliver by 2027.
Now, CapEx for the island rigs will be spread between the period. I mean, we started actually from last year, the award, so we started that payment, and it will go this year, and the additional that we are talking about, or even the three physically will be planned to spread in 2026, first three. The second three will be starting from 2027 onwards. So it will be in phases, the payments on milestones that the builder has to deliver certain level of the project where payments will be made. So that will be going throughout the next couple of years. We would like to add the.
No, no, absolutely, Mohammad. So for the last batch this year is the highest CapEx year for the previous batch of three rigs, and then for this batch of three rigs, next year will be the highest CapEx year for that.
Thank you very much. Very clear. That's all. Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Alok Nawani from Ghobash Trading & Investment . Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Good afternoon, and thanks very much for the call. Just one question from my side at the first. What is the current rig count for your unconventional rigs, and how should we expect it to evolve in 2025 and 2026 to cater to phase one?
Thank you, Abba. Rig count, as we talked there today, we have up to eight. Now, we have the plan for 144 wells to be delivered, part of the phase one. And basically, I mean, with the efficiencies that we are doing, probably we will recycle one of the rigs back to conventional because there is efficiency there.
But at least for the phase one, I would say between six to eight rigs will continue to operate for the unconventional. Hope that answers your question.
Yes. Thank you. And if I may just go back to the point about OFS margins, you mentioned that they would probably, on a blended basis, stay around these levels in 2025 and 2026. But would you just remind us what would help them move towards the 22%-26% range for the segment starting 2027?
So in phase two, Turnwell would move from effectively being an asset-light structure, which is implemented in phase one because of the relatively shorter-term nature of the contract, to a full-fledged OFS operation similar to our existing OFS operation, which operates on five-plus-year contracts, and hence basically acquires all the equipment required, i.e., the frac fleets and all the other OFS equipment itself, and hence effectively being able to capture that part of the margin as opposed to today where it's effectively mostly a rental basis, and hence the EBITDA is effectively the same as the net income of Turnwell.
Okay. That's clear. Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Oliver Connor from Citi. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Hi. Thanks for taking my questions. Two for me. Just first one, coming back on the unconventional piece.
I mean, you mentioned that you've drilled sort of 25% of the wells, and you said you'd completed about 10%. You've obviously made a lot of efficiencies you talked about in terms of drilling time, just trying to get a sense of whether you've seen efficiencies come through on the completion side as well or expectations around that for the latter half of phase one. And then the second question, a broader question, just looking at sort of NSO, obviously you've now had four major transactions come into the portfolio. Perhaps you'd give us a little bit of color about some of the early benefits and advantages you've seen with having those assets now in the portfolio to do with the operations. Thank you.
Thank you, Adam. You see, if I recall, the question is on the completion side if we are going to have efficiencies, right?
And for sure, I mean, that's where we are focusing, mainly in the fracking, where we want to increase the stages per day. Actually, we are talking now the pumping hours per day that we can improve. And we're introducing benchmark numbers kind of to pump X amount of hours per day so we can derive that efficiency which we are looking at. I mean, soon we will be into that kind of play where we will be sort of having the efficiencies being reflected and optimization of cost. I mean, we're not doing something totally new. I mean, we're doing where people have done something probably over the last 10 years. We are taking the advantage of expertise into that area where we brought information of this Turnwell. And from day one, I mean, we are taking know-how practices as they are happening.
I mean, probably some of the practices will require certain equipment, which is at least today, it's already on the list of actions that we are going to do to bring that efficiencies. So I would say, yes, confidently in that we will be driving efficiencies in the completion and services side. So hand in hand with the drilling, for sure, I mean, the drive to optimize costs and attract the operator to move into the next phase. Now, the Enersol, if you would address that.
Definitely. So in terms of examples of early benefits and synergies, so the first acquisition was Gordon Technologies. It has since then set up a facility in Abu Dhabi. It won already two contracts, one with Petronas in an unconventional block in Abu Dhabi that's operated by Petronas.
And the second is in the ADNOC and Total unconventional block, which is effectively through Turnwell. Gordon specializes in higher temperature unconventional wells, which is a capability we did not have in-house before on the drilling services side. And hence, effectively by being able to bring in this, we're able to have both drilling services on the conventional wells as well as the higher temperature unconventional wells. Then the second one is NTS. It already had a facility in the UAE. So we're ramping up basically the kind of levels that we're able to utilize from the UAE facility into kind of our operations in terms of manufacturing and basically being able to capture the manufacturing part of the margin beyond the service part that we already captured. The third one, which is EV, which is downhole cameras, this is also we have started piloting it in the UAE.
The last one is Deep Well Services, which we just closed. The advantage here is being able to do some of the work cheaper than would otherwise just a land rig or jack-up rig. Some of the additional work in terms of snubbing, some of the laterals, etc., being able to utilize Deep Well Services for it.
So basically, the idea is all of them have either set up or are in the process of setting up in Abu Dhabi, and they will basically be able to complement our existing portfolio for us to either vertically integrate backwards into the OEM piece, complete specific types of work like the higher temperature, which otherwise we did not have, or have more in-country as well, kind of manufacturing and capturing more of that value chain, or doing things in a kind of a more efficient or lower-cost way than we would otherwise do with the existing equipment.
Thank you. Very, very clear.
Thank you. As a reminder, if you wish to ask a question, please press star followed by one on your keypad. Our next question comes from Renee Sullivan from Jadwa Investment. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Yes. Hi. Thank you for the call.
Sorry, my questions were answered. I thought I lowered my hand. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks. Thank you.
Thank you, Renee.
Thank you, Renee.
Thank you. We currently have no further questions, so I'll hand back to Mr. Abdulrahman for any final remarks.
Thank you very much for all being on this call and appreciate the questions. I think it provides more clarity and more update. For sure, looking forward for the next sessions that we will be holding, and inshallah, it will be as positive as today and looking ahead, inshallah. Thank you very much to all.
This concludes today's call. Thank you for joining us. You may now disconnect your lines.
