Decision trail

Decision date 30/04/2025 · Reference ↗

Nabors Industries has suspended drilling operations in Russia after the United States expanded sanctions on the country. The drilling contractor said its three rigs in Russia were shut down in March. Nabors has 311 rigs worldwide, 132 of which are operating in international markets. Nabors took a $28.6 million charge as it wound down its operations in Russia. It said the charge was offset by a $113 million net non-cash gain from its acquisition of Parker Wellbore, which closed in March.
