This is a demonstration of the Schlumberger alignment with the Kingdom’s 2030 Vision," Schlumberger said.

“We are delighted with Schlumberger’s inauguration of its manufacturing center and congratulate them on playing a very important anchor role at the King Salman Energy Park. This center and SPARK will accelerate solutions across the value-chain for the Saudi Energy Sector that will create opportunities for Saudi men and women in a sustainable way for many generations to come,” said Mohammed Al Qahtani, upstream senior vice president, Saudi Aramco.

“It is with pride that we announce the inauguration of the Schlumberger Manufacturing Center in King Salman Energy Park. As the first upstream services company to establish a manufacturing center in SPARK, we are enabling an agile fit-for-basin capability that links research, product development and now manufacturing to the needs of the Saudi Arabian market,” said Ziad Jeha, president Saudi Arabia & Bahrain, Schlumberger.
