National Energy Services Reunited (NESR) is ramping up its footprint in Libya, introducing hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing services to the country for the first time — a move the company says draws directly on expertise gained from operating the world’s largest unconventional resource project in Saudi Arabia.
Sherif Foda, Chairman and CEO of NESR, told Energy Capital & Power that the company is deliberately transferring technical know-how from the $5-8 billion Jafurah unconventional gas project — awarded to NESR by Saudi Aramco — to Libya, with the goal of unlocking the country’s untapped hydrocarbon potential. “The experience gained from Jafurah is now being transferred to Libya,” Foda said, describing a strategy of cost optimization and integrated service delivery applied at scale.
Beyond the new well services, NESR has developed a proprietary technology and knowledge platform called “Nama” — derived from the Arabic word Namaa, meaning growth and prosperity. The platform combines specialist technical teams with analytical software to assess fields, evaluate shut-in wells, and create detailed production optimization blueprints. Libya’s oilfield services sector has historically been underdeveloped relative to its resource base, and NESR’s expanded capabilities are positioned to directly address that gap.
