DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia — National Energy Services Reunited Corp. ("NESR" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:NESR)(NASDAQ:NESRW), an international, industry-leading provider of integrated energy services in the Middle East and North Africa ("MENA") region, has announced that the company has been awarded a long term contract for Directional Drilling services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, covering Directional Drilling ("DD"), Measurement while Drilling ("MWD"), Performance Drilling, Well Engineering and Logging While Drilling ("LWD") services for up to four years starting with immediate effect.
This award reflects the culmination of several years of research and development investment in several field trials to demonstrate NESR's ability to drill and deliver vertical and directional wellbores in record times with leading-edge technologies.

NESR CEO & Chairman Sherif Foda commented, "These awards represent a major milestone in our growth strategy to establish NESR as one of the major players in the Directional Drilling market and paves the way to introduce our next gen technologies which enable our customers to get access to best in class technologies being adopted globally.
