NMDC LTS Acquires Majority Equity Stake in Emdad

Abu Dhabi-based NMDC Group on Wednesday announced that NMDC LTS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, completed the acquisition of a 70% stake of the share capital and voting rights in Emdad, an integrated service provider specialising in the oil and gas, utilities, and industrial sectors.

The transaction was financed through debt and equity, the company said in a regulatory filing with Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) this morning.

This strategic acquisition enables NMDC Group to expand into the OPEX segment of recurring revenues in the oilfield services, further diversifying its portfolio and strengthening its competitive advantage.

In parallel, this acquisition will provide NMDC Group with a broader range of services and additional avenues for revenue growth, with Emdad’s offering spanning over an array of different services, including well intervention, waste management, shutdown/ turnaround, coil tubing, valves, among other services. Emdad reported revenues in excess of $163.38 million in 2024 and its equity stood at $59.09 million.

The update is another further step in NMDC’s strategy to drive value creation, strengthen its regional presence, and support revenue growth. It marks a leap in NMDC Group’s broader expansion and diversification goals, paving the way for future innovation and leadership in the energy sector.
