KUALA LUMPUR: OMNI Oil Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd has introduced Malaysia's first locally manufactured polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) steel body drill bits as part of a vendor development programme (VDP).
The company was also recognised by Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) with an award for its pivotal role in advancing upstream oilfield equipment technology in Malaysia.
In conjunction with the launch, OMNI signed a memorandum of understanding with global technology firm Schlumberger (SLB) to explore contract manufacturing of wellheads.
This partnership leverages OMNI's expertise to diversify its product offerings and better address the evolving demands of the oil and gas industry.
"This development also underscores OMNI's role as a driving force in the advancement of upstream oilfield equipment technology in Malaysia," it said.
OMNI managing director Nik Mustapha Fathil Nik Mahmud stated that the launch of the drill bits and the partnership with SLB represent a significant milestone for the company.
"By advancing local expertise and delivering Malaysian-made drilling technology to international markets, OMNI is reinforcing its commitment to innovation and excellence.
"This progress not only benefits the oil and gas industry but also solidifies OMNI's position as the preferred partner for clients seeking high-quality, custom-manufactured wellhead solutions," he said.
