Services

SAKNAFTA Services began its operations in 2007 and has continued to grow and expand its range of activities. In 2022, the company established its Drilling Division, marking a major milestone and a strong addition to its service portfolio.

The division started its operations with a 1500 HP rig working with Badr El Din Petroleum Company, followed in 2024 by the addition of a 2000 HP rig operating with Tanmia Petroleum Company, highlighting the company’s expansion in onshore drilling activities within Egypt.

In the same year, SAKNAFTA expanded internationally by signing a drilling contract with Turkish Petroleum in Turkey using a 1500 HP rig. The company further strengthened its regional presence in 2025 by adding a 750 HP rig operating under its Libya branch.

As part of its ongoing development plan, a new 1500 HP rig has been purchased from China and is currently in the shipping phase to Egypt, in preparation for its upcoming operations — supporting the company’s strategy for continuous growth and enhanced drilling capacity.

SAKNAFTA remains committed to investing in the latest drilling equipment and technologies, while continuously developing its technical teams to deliver high-quality, safe, and reliable services that meet the expectations of its partners locally and regionally.
