Read MoreHide Full Article
Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (HP - Free Report) recently announced that the Rig Enablement Framework Agreement with ADNOC Drilling Company is finalized.
The Framework Agreement will allow HP to extend its drilling and operating experience outside the United States. It will help ADNOC Drilling improve the performance of its land rigs and support the company's aggressive development and expansion objectives. Further, the agreement, which focuses on enhancing drilling efficiencies and achieving operational savings, expands on the Asset Purchase Agreement and IPO Cornerstone Agreement announced on Sep 8, 2021, and strengthens ADNOC Drilling's strategic collaboration with HP.
HP’s $100-million cornerstone investment in ADNOC Drilling's IPO aided its worldwide expansion plan by allowing it to commit extra cash outside the United States. This demonstrates HP's faith in what the two companies can accomplish together.
Helmerich & Payne, a global leader in rig technologies and drilling solutions, intends to profit from ADNOC Drilling's commitment to a strong dividend policy as indicated in the ADNOC Drilling Prospectus.
