National Oilwell Varco (NOV) hosted a customer open house to showcase the new manufacturing,

Service and parts warehouse facility for downhole, pumping and supply chain solutions. The event was attended by senior officials from JAFZA, NOV and major oil service and operating companies.

The custom built manufacturing and training facility is located in Jebel Ali Free Zone and it is the second NOV-owned facility in the area, standing witness to the rapid expansion NOV is experiencing in the area and worldwide. The expansion also cements NOV's commitment to customers in providing products, services, technical support and training in the close proximity to their operations. In addition to Downhole, Pumping and Supply Chain Solutions, the new facility will house MD Totco instrumentation and controls and Tuboscope pipe coating and inspection, supporting Eastern Hemisphere customers. Further confirming this commitment to the region, the new facility is the largest manufacturing location for Downhole Tools outside North America.

Jeremy Thigpen, President, Downhole and Pumping Solutions said: "NOV is committed to delivering the Right Tool, to the Right Place, at the Right Time. We knew that we had to demonstrate that commitment by investing into the dramatic expansion of both our infrastructure and our capabilities to manage and support the customers in the region. Our investment and our efforts demonstrate our commitment to our valued customers." Through the interactive training center, NOV will introduce the latest technology in drilling equipment to local customers.
