Saipem has been awarded new contracts in offshore drilling in Romania and Abu Dhabi worth more than US$160mn
According to one contract, the company will drill a well in Romania’s Black Sea waters, expectedly in the Q4 2019.
Works will be executed by the semi-submersible rig Scarabeo 9, a drilling unit suitable for operations in the area, due to its ability to lower its tower which enables the crossing of the Bosphorus Strait.
In addition, a contract has been awarded for drilling works offshore Abu Dhabi in the UAE. The drilling activities will be carried out by the high spec jack-up Perro Negro 8, in continuity with current operations. The contract will have a duration of four years.
