Our Heritage.

Kuwait Drilling CO. K.S.C.C. was established in 1963 as a joint venture between Santafe International Corporation, USA, with a 49% holding, and a consortium of Kuwaiti businessmen with 51%. Today, KDC is a subsidiary of the Contracting & Marine Services Company KSC. Though Santafe’s share is now held by Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), we are continuing to build on its legacy.

At KDC, we believe that

We are driven by customer satisfaction and always exceed customers’ expectations

We prioritise running safe, efficient operations that deliver optimal results for our customers. Maintaining high rates of customer satisfaction is a massive priority for our company.

We are responsible for the safety and health of our employees and our community

At KDC, accidents are avoided by choice, not chance. We take great care in training our employees in recognizing and preventing any safety hazards. Our rigs are diligently monitored for faults and operating crews are rewarded for achieving certain safety milestones.

We are obliged to safeguard the environment in which we operate

To ensure the safety of our surrounding environment, KDC has become one of the first drilling companies in Kuwait to certify to the OHSAS 18001 standard of the International Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series. We also have rigorous quality control measures in place to further prevent any faults.

We are duty-bound to develop the young talents in our community.

Our training programs cover all the necessary safety and technical procedures that a young professional needs to grow in this field. We are committed to nurturing these talents into future leaders and innovators.

VISION

Our vision at KDC is to provide a full range of premium drilling services to the Oil and Gas industry through a talented pool of employees underpinned by the strong financial resources needed to operate through all phases of the economic cycles of our industry.

A central theme of our vision is that we base our competitive advantage by applying the latest technologies, continuously improving our business processes, and maintaining flexibility in meeting the requirements of our clients.
