The Milan-based offshore services and drilling company Saipem has strengthened its offshore drilling order intake with new contract awards and extensions worth a total amount of approximately $135m.
The seventh-generation drillship Santorini will continue operations in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire respectively on behalf of Eni Ghana Exploration & Production Limited and Eni Côte d’Ivoire Limited, ensuring continuity of activities ahead of the next drilling campaign in the Mediterranean Sea.
Additionally, the Deep Value Driller, a seventh-generation drillship managed by Saipem under a bareboat charter agreement, has completed its operations in Ghana on behalf of Eni Ghana Exploration & Production Limited and will be employed for a new project in Indonesia for Eni Ganal Deepwater Limited, with activities expected to commence by the end of the year.
Finally, Saipem informs that the Scarabeo 9, having recently completed a drilling campaign in Egypt for Burullus Gas Company, an Egyptian oil and gas company active in offshore gas production, has started operations in Libya under a new contract with Eni North Africa BV, that will keep the rig active until early 2026.
