阿布扎比国家石油公司获得了一份价值约 7.33 亿美元的合同，以协助扩大扎库姆海上油田的作业，该合同将包括三个新钻井平台，这些钻井平台将在现有和新建的人工岛上运行。

这些钻井平台将由 ADNOC Drilling 和宏华集团 (HH) 合作设计和建造，并由 HH 建造。钻井平台预计将于 2026 年交付并投入运营。ADNOC Drilling和 HH 还将寻求与阿布扎比的人工智能 (AI) 公司 AIQ 合作。此次合作旨在 利用人工智能、数字化和先进技术来设计和运营钻井平台。  

此外，ADNOC 人工岛上的钻井作业为大位移井 (ERD) 创造了理想条件，全球前五大最长的井均来自阿布扎比海岸的这些岛屿，最近交付的井超过 52,000 英尺。这些钻井平台将用于大位移井，无需拆卸钻井平台即可移动，从而大幅提高效率和安全性，同时降低成本和排放。

A contract valued at an estimated $733 million, has been awarded to ADNOC to assist the expanding activities at the offshore Zakum field with three new rigs that will operate on existing and newly constructed artificial islands.

The rigs will be designed and built as part of a partnership between ADNOC Drilling and Honghua Group (HH) and constructed by HH. Delivery of the rigs and commencement of operations is expected during 2026. ADNOC Drilling and HH will look to also collaborate with AIQ, an Abu Dhabi based artificial intelligence (AI) company. This partnership has been formed specifically to utilize AI, digitization, and advanced technology in the design and operation of the rigs. 

Additionally, drilling operations on ADNOC’s artificial islands create the ideal conditions for extended reach drilling (ERD) with the top five longest wells in the world being delivered from these islands off the coast of Abu Dhabi, the most recently delivered being over 52,000 feet. The rigs will be built to deliver ERD and eliminate the need for the rigs to be dismantled to be moved, dramatically improving efficiency and safety while reducing costs and emissions.
