On the workover side, there are specialized heavy units for deeper wells plus conventional rigs for routine well-servicing. Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) aims to increase its overall rig count to <strong data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"651\">212<\/strong> by 2025\/2026, with a notable rise in deep drilling capacity [Ref.2].<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"1034\">Because each rig must remain in safe operating condition, the requirement for <strong data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"824\">regular inspection<\/strong> is significant.

For example, OES (Oilfield Evaluation Services) has entered Kuwait through a partnership with a local group, bringing technical know-how to rig inspection and asset integrity work. SGS S.A., a leading global testing and inspection company, also maintains a strong presence in Kuwait, leveraging its worldwide capabilities to serve local oil and gas operators. Other notable international competitors include ABL (AqualisBraemar LOC Group), which carries the heritage of ModuSpec for rig audits, and Lloyd\u2019s Register (LR), historically known for its ModuSpec division. These global players typically partner with Kuwaiti agents or maintain local branches to meet market and regulatory requirements.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"1755\" data-end=\"2424\">The rig inspection market in Kuwait is <strong data-start=\"1794\" data-end=\"1808\">fragmented<\/strong>, with no single company dominating. Local policy initiatives encourage a strong domestic presence, meaning local Kuwaiti firms or joint ventures secure a sizable share of contracts. International specialists also hold a significant portion, especially for high-end projects. The result is a diverse market in which a handful of major companies each hold a moderate slice\u2014commonly no single provider accounts for more than roughly <strong data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2249\">20\u201325%<\/strong> of rig inspection awards.
