Revolutionizing Oilfield Operations: INTLEF's Triumph in the Nimr Field


In the unforgiving environment of the Nimr field in Oman, where temperatures often soar beyond 50°C, INTLEF has demonstrated remarkable innovation and resilience. Since July 2025, three of INTLEF's self-developed "Cobra" smart rigs have successfully completed 60 wells, marking a significant milestone in the company's operational history. This achievement not only underscores the rigs' reliability under extreme conditions but also highlights INTLEF's comprehensive capabilities that span research and development, manufacturing, delivery, and after-sales service.
The path to this success was paved with meticulous planning and execution. In October 2023, INTLEF established dedicated teams focused on research and development, business development, and financial support to meet the ambitious goals set for the project. By January 2025, the first three Cobra rigs were delivered, ready to tackle the challenges of the harsh desert environment. However, the delivery phase was merely the beginning; a dedicated 33-member after-sales service team was assembled to ensure seamless commissioning. Working tirelessly in the demanding climate, this team implemented rigorous protocols, ultimately resulting in the rigs passing client acceptance after an extensive 106 days of installation and testing.

Innovation and Efficiency: The Cutting-Edge Features of the Cobra Rigs

The Cobra rigs are equipped with groundbreaking features that set them apart in the oilfield services market. For instance, the one-click automation functionality significantly reduces manual intervention, leading to a remarkable ~20% decrease in well cycle times. Additionally, the intelligent integrated energy management system—known as AI-EMS-VFD—achieves a 40% reduction in installed power demand and a 30% savings in fuel consumption. Such advancements not only enhance operational efficiency but also align with global sustainability initiatives by realizing a 100% green workover process and reducing carbon emissions by an impressive 90%.

Feedback from clients has been overwhelmingly positive. A representative from a client organization expressed satisfaction with INTLEF's equipment, noting, "The rigs have operated reliably under harsh conditions while bringing tangible value through automation and energy efficiency. This is a true technological upgrade." The representative further praised INTLEF's technical expertise and collaborative spirit, fostering confidence in the long-term operation of these innovative rigs.

In summary, INTLEF's successful commissioning of the Cobra rigs in Oman is more than just a technical accomplishment; it signifies the company's expanding global presence and adaptability to the diverse demands of the energy market. As energy exploration and drilling activities continue to grow in the Middle East, INTLEF stands ready to deliver integrated drilling solutions characterized by cutting-edge technology, stringent safety standards, and reliable after-sales support. This project embodies INTLEF's vision of being a trusted partner in the global oilfield services sector, driving innovation while contributing to the sustainable development of the energy industry.
