Deputy managing director of NIDC, Mehran Makvandi, made the remarks in an interview with Shana, adding the initiative has paved the way for stepping up implementation of boosting oil production plans.

He added programming, observing drilling standards and HSE regulations were the main factors which enabled the company to move ahead of schedule in drilling of the wells.

Makvandi noted that over the three decades since its establishment, NIDC has made great strides in the direction of implementation of NIOC and Petroleum Ministry’s policies for expanding qualitative and quantitative activities.

“NIDC not only has succeeded to realize drilling oil and gas wells targets but has been able to provide the related technical and engineering services”, NIDC’s deputy for drilling concluded.
