Safety is not a department. It is a decision.
ABRAJ's Zero Harm philosophy shapes every meeting, every plan, and every shift. Every employee has the authority to stop work if conditions are unsafe. In 2025, this culture supported our busiest drilling year on record while maintaining ISO 45001 certification and earning PDO's highest HSE performance rating for Hoist 04 and Rig 108.


“Safety is not something we do in addition to the work. It is how we do the work.”
ABRAJ Zero Harm Commitment, Field Operations

A record built year by year
Our safety performance reflects more than a decade of investment in training, equipment, and operational discipline. In 2024, we delivered 21,000 man-days of training across more than 2,400 programmes, maintained zero lost-time incidents, and reached 30 million LTI-free man-hours. In 2025, we conducted 960 emergency drills across all operational sites.
