Safety first.
Progress that lasts.
For thirteen consecutive years, across our growing operational footprint from Oman to regional energy partnerships, including Wafra Joint Operations (WJO) - ABRAJ has maintained a culture where every employee and contractor returns home safely.
Zero Harm PhilosophySafety 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 holding the PDO HSE Green Band Rating, ABRAJ's company-level HSE rating from PDO.
Built through consistencyA 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.
