Through its various subsidiaries, Nabors manufactures and sells top drives, catwalks, wrenches, drawworks, and other drilling related equipment which are installed on both onshore and offshore drilling rigs.
In the 1960s, we pioneered the use of camps to support drilling activity, engineered new methods for making crew changes and led the pack as the first company to staff women in our camps. Our innovations in Alaska – where we pioneered the development and use of modular rigs and moving systems, and would later drill the world’s first horizontal well – continue to be used today.
In 1963, we set the bar for drilling in Alaska, drilling the discovery well for ARCO in what would become the giant Prudhoe Bay Field on Alaska’s North Slope. We went on to drill BP’s first successful well in that field.
We exited the completion and production services business to renew our focus on drilling and technology. Shortly thereafter, we created a new business division called Nabors Drilling Solutions or NDS, to develop, integrate and automate drilling services traditionally not performed by drilling contractors, such as managed pressure drilling, casing running and directional drilling. Historically, these services have been provided by third-party service companies who come to the rig with a complete infrastructure of products, equipment and staff. Our thesis is that, given today’s technologies, this model is not very efficient.
