Churchill Drilling Tools opens Abu Dhabi workshop

ABU DHABI -- Churchill Drilling Tools, an oilfield service company specializing in downhole tools, has opened a bespoke tooling and service workshop in Abu Dhabi.

The facility is Churchill’s latest investment in the U.A.E., where the company has responded to growing local demand for its range of dart activated products. It follows the opening of a base in Dubai at the beginning of 2016.

Founder and Chairman Andy Churchill, who opened the new facility, said, “The U.A.E. is an important market for us, and our investment in the new workshop facility in Abu Dhabi will enable us to cover the whole of the U.A.E. from a central hub. Tool mobilization, servicing, repair and maintenance can now all be done in country, allowing Churchill Drilling Tools to further embed itself into the U.A.E. supply chain.”

Nicholas Kjaer, general manager, Middle East, Churchill Drilling Tools, added, “This new facility is functional as of today and will allow us to provide full lifecycle support for the Churchill product line throughout the U.A.E. We have already made a number of new appointments and plan to expand our technical support staff well into 2017.”
