Weatherford, a top oilfield service firm, has signed an agreement with ADES International Holding for the sale of its land drilling rig operations in Algeria, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia as well as two idle land rigs in Iraq for $287.5 million.
The transaction includes 31 land drilling rigs and related drilling contracts, as well as approximately 2,300 employees and contract personnel.
The transaction is expected to be executed in a series of closings, most of which will be substantially completed in the second half of 2018, subject to regulatory approvals, consents and other customary closing conditions. The purchase price is also subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment. Upon closing, Weatherford will use the proceeds to reduce its debt.
