United Drilling Tools has secured a repeat export order from Trident East Limited, Russia, for the supply of PUMA Connectors and accessories. The order, received following the successful execution of an initial trial order, represents a substantial increase in quantity and is expected to be executed within 5-6 months. This development reaffirms the customer's confidence in the company's engineering excellence and product quality, marking a transition from a trial engagement to a commercial supply relationship.

The disclosure was made to the exchanges pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The commercial order does not involve any interest from the promoter or promoter group companies. Shri Govind Sharma, GM-Global Sales and Marketing, stated that the repeat order is a strong endorsement of the quality and reliability of the company's products.

Order Details

The company is positioned as the only manufacturer in India capable of producing these specialized connectors for critical oil and gas applications. This order is expected to create opportunities for further business in the Russian market and other international markets, strengthening the company's global footprint in the energy sector.

United Drilling Tools has entered India's premium oilfield casing and tubing segment by successfully supplying and deploying 5,000 metres of 7-inch premium production casing to Oil India Ltd. The deployment took place in a gas well in Assam under a development order, marking the company's shift from standard API-grade products to advanced metal-to-metal seal technology designed for high-pressure and corrosive environments. This move positions the company to capture a share of the domestic market, which is valued at approximately ₹2,600 crore and has an annual requirement of around 1.2 lakh tonnes.

Market Entry and Supply Details

The successful delivery to Oil India Ltd represents a key milestone for United Drilling Tools in establishing its presence in the high-end oilfield casing and tubing space. The following table outlines the key details of this supply:

Strategic Targeting of Oil Companies

Following this validation with a national oil company, United Drilling Tools plans to pursue approvals and tenders with Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC). The company is also targeting private exploration majors such as Vedanta (Cairn Oil & Gas), Reliance Industries, Adani, and Welspun Exploration, as well as international oilfield service providers operating in India. This strategy aligns with the Government of India's "Make in India" initiative to reduce import dependence in the energy sector.

Significance of Premium Casing in Oilfield Operations

Premium connections are a more advanced type of casing that uses metal-to-metal seals to remain leak-proof and gas-tight in demanding conditions, such as high pressure, high temperature, or corrosive environments. While the company has been an established supplier of standard API-certified threads for decades, this successful deployment establishes it as a proven manufacturer of premium connections capable of meeting complex operational requirements.

Outlook

The management believes this entry has the potential to add a scale of business comparable to existing operations over the coming years. By securing a meaningful share of this large market, the company aims to enhance its revenue and profitability while supporting the nation's goal of self-reliance in critical energy infrastructure.
