Roboze, a manufacturer of industrial non-metallic additive products, has announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate with SLB on local manufacturing in Saudi Arabia.
The MoU focuses on expanding Roboze’s manufacturing capabilities in Saudi Arabia to produce SLB-qualified components on demand. The agreement will support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 program by fostering sustainability and economic diversification through in-country manufacturing.
Under the agreement, Roboze says that it will leverage its 3D printing technologies to reduce reliance on global logistics; enable on-demand production; and enhance supply chain resilience for critical energy applications, including downhole components for offshore operations.
Since 2021, SLB and Roboze have worked together to identify, manufacture, and evaluate critical spare parts made from super polymers like PEEK and Carbon Fiber PEEK for downhole oil and gas applications.
