An Iraqi company, built around the field.

NAN Co. Catering Services, known as NANCO, serves oil and gas operators, drilling and workover contractors, industry and education. Our teams have run base-camp and rig-site catering on the Rumaila oil field since at least 2016, for clients including Daqing Workover (CNPC).

Today we serve more than 2,000 meals a day, planned around the nationalities and shift patterns of each site.

Our culture is pride in performance and integrity. Operations managers, camp bosses, supervisors, technicians and executive chefs bring best practice from one industry into cost-effective solutions for another, which is why clients keep working with us.

We find the solutions that others miss.
How NANCO describes its own approach: understand first, then go beyond what the client expected.
