Helmerich & Payne公司在收到复工通知后，将重启沙特阿拉伯七座已停工陆上钻井平台的作业。这些钻井平台将于2026年上半年分阶段恢复运营。

根据合同条款，所有停工期天数将计入每台钻机的剩余工期，从而确保后续作业计划的完整运营周期。H&P公司表示，分阶段重启钻机将有助于顺利恢复钻井作业，并与客户的进度安排保持一致。

到2026年年中，该公司预计在沙特阿拉伯将有24座钻井平台投入运营。该钻井平台包括8座FlexRig钻井平台，以及通过KCA Deutag交易新增的16座钻井平台。

Helmerich & Payne will restart operations on seven suspended land rigs in Saudi Arabia after receiving notice to recommence work. The rigs will return to service in stages in H1 2026.

Under the terms of the contracts, all suspension-period days will be added back to each rig’s remaining term, preserving the full operating period for upcoming work programs. H&P said the staged reactivations will support a smooth return to drilling operations and align with customer schedules.

By mid-2026 the company expects to have 24 rigs active in Saudi Arabia. The fleet will include eight FlexRigs along with 16 rigs added through the KCA Deutag transaction.
