About NESR
A large national oilfield services provider in the MENA and Asia-Pacific region, NESR recently completed construction on its new center in Saudi Arabia, the Oilfield Research and Development Centre. This building has been designed to revolutionize green energy production within the oil sector.
About the Project
The Oilfield Research and Development Centre signals Saudi Arabia's commitment to renewable energy. The building has a skylight made of trapezoidal photovoltaic glass, including an insulating chamber to insulate the building properly. In addition, the solar cells prevent harmful radiation from entering the building while allowing natural light to enter. This bioclimatic solution provides comfort to building users, who will also have photovoltaic pergolas in the parking lot so they might enjoy the shade in a city that reaches high temperatures in the summer.
This project has an installed capacity of 110.7 kWp and will achieve a production of over 200,000 kWh per year. The project was designed by the architecture firm Tariw Hajj Architects, with Absal Paul Contracting as the main contractor for the project and Jamal Jaroudi Group as the installer.
