Superior Drilling Products, Inc. Announces Joint Market Development Agreement with Odfjell Drilling Ltd.

Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (NYSE American: SDPI) (“SDP” or “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of drilling tool technologies, today announced that it has executed an agreement with a subsidiary of Odfjell Drilling Ltd (OSE: ODL)(“Odfjell”) to launch a Middle East short-term joint market development program around its patented Drill-N-Ream® (“DnR”) well bore conditioning tool.

Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO of SDP, noted, “Odfjell’s interest in using the DnR for their service offering is validation of the success the tool is having in the Middle East. Odfjell is a well-respected oil field service firm and, by partnering with them, it enables us to accelerate our entry into the Middle East market. We are pleased that Odfjell recognized the value of the DnR and are looking forward to establishing a distribution agreement with them in the not so distant future.”

Under the development agreement, Odfjell and SDP will demonstrate the DnR’s capabilities with a large Middle East operator in Kuwait.

The DnR is a unique drilling tool technology that conditions the well bore simultaneously while drilling the well bore, driving efficiencies by reducing days on well, increasing penetration rates and extending the life of the bottom hole assembly. Domestically, the DnR is gaining broad market acceptance with many lead operators standardizing on the tool.
