Weatherford International plc has announced that it has been awarded an eight-year contract by SNGN Romgaz S.A., Romania’s largest natural gas producer and main supplier, and the third-largest gas producer in Europe.
The contract involves providing services for real-time monitoring and transmission of dynamic parameters from gas well wellheads, enhancing production optimization through digital and AI-enabled insights.

With our technology, expertise, and recent investments in Romania, Weatherford is well positioned to help Romgaz optimise production and build fields of the future with solutions that enable smarter and more reliable operations.”
