Product
Nabors SmartRig Automated Fleet uses advanced robotics and control systems to cut drill-floor manual tasks, lowering onsite injuries by an estimated 40% versus conventional rigs and boosting average ROP (rate of penetration) by ~12% in trials through 2025.
As of late 2025 Nabors is upgrading ~60% of its legacy rigs for unconventional shale and international demand, with automation CAPEX of roughly $120m in 2024–25 to support higher-margin service contracts.
The SmartSuite digital portfolio delivers real-time analytics and automated drilling apps that improve wellbore placement and increase drilling speed; customers report up to 18% faster ROP (rate of penetration) and a 25% drop in non-productive time (NPT) in pilot projects through 2024. Operators monitor performance remotely and make data-driven fixes, and by year-end 2025 SmartSuite became a recurring revenue stream—accounting for roughly 12% of Nabors’ service revenue and differentiating it from traditional drillers.
Directional Drilling Services
Nabors Directional Drilling services use high-performance motors and measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tools to steer complex reservoirs, boosting horizontal well reservoir contact—now a baseline in modern oil and gas development. Automated steering tech cuts doglegs and non-productive time, raising footage-per-run and supporting higher EURs (estimated ultimate recovery); Nabors reported rig services revenue of $1.2B in 2024, with directional tech driving margin gains.
- High-performance motors + MWD: precise wellbore placement
- Automated steering: fewer trips, higher footage-per-run
- Maximizes reservoir contact in horizontal wells
- Contributed to Nabors’ $1.2B 2024 rig services revenue
Energy Transition Solutions
- Hydrogen and CCS offering
- Power management & storage
- Targets 2026 growth
Nabors’ product suite centers on SmartRig automation, SmartSuite software, Canrig equipment, directional-drilling tools, and Energy Transition Solutions—driving safety (≈40% fewer injuries), higher ROP (12–18%), $1.2B rig-services revenue in 2024, ~$420M equipment revenue in 2024, ~60% rig upgrades by late 2025, and automation CAPEX ≈$120M (2024–25).
