Girish Saligram, President and CEO of Weatherford, has stated that the company's turnaround from bankruptcy is "mostly done" and that the focus has shifted from "broken to good" to "good to great." He has described the company as being in "better shape than we've ever been before," citing record margins, free cash flow generation, and a strengthened balance sheet. Saligram has emphasized a continued focus on operational execution, cost discipline, and cash generation, with a goal of delivering margin expansion even in a flat activity market. He has also highlighted technology differentiation and digital enablement as key strategic priorities, noting investments in areas such as automation, production optimization, and a unified data model. Regarding the broader energy sector, Saligram has argued that the industry's technological depth is "generally underappreciated" and that oil and gas will remain an important part of the energy mix. He has discussed Weatherford's involvement in energy transition platforms, including geothermal, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), and plug and abandonment. On CCUS, he has described it as a "massive ecosystem" that will require economic support to become viable, as "there is no money in it" without an offset mechanism. Saligram has also expressed a positive outlook for international markets, particularly the Middle East, while noting that North American activity has moderated and that capital discipline across the industry is likely to persist.
“One of the things that I think is generally underappreciated about our entire sector is the incredible depth and breadth that we have of technology.”
“We operate like I said earlier in the harshest of climates and incredibly high temperatures, high pressure. And we really bring a convergence of technology—thermodynamics, mechanical capabilities, chemistry, metal energy—and then it's coupled with cutting-edge measurement technology and software.”
“CCS is a massive ecosystem everything from the capture element to the conveyance to then the actual storage and monitoring and you've got several different organizations and companies that play alongside that and you're seeing rapid advancements in each one of those things.”
“It's very very likely that if the investment thesis continues and there is an overall support for that ecosystem from an economic standpoint, it's going to have to be support because there is no money in it. This is not a, you know, you're actually storing this thing on the ground so there's no actual return.”
