Arabian Drilling has been recognized for its efforts in Saudization, which involves increasing the employment of Saudi nationals in the workforce. We received the IKTVA Excellence Award for “The Best Saudization (Services)”, which aligns with our commitment to the Vision 2030 goal of creating more job opportunities for Saudis and reducing unemployment.

We take pride in supporting training and development of young Saudi talent through initiatives, such as:
