Weatherford International was recognized by Oil & Gas Middle East magazine with the 2017 Oil & Gas Middle East Award for Operational Excellence Strategy of the Year. The annual awards program recognizes outstanding achievements made within the upstream and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry in the Middle East.
