Norways AGR Group (AGR) has been awarded a well management contract from Cooper Energy Tunisia Bargou (CTEB) to run activities on an well offshore Tunisia
The contact will see AGR perform the planning, execution and post-drilling activities for a one-well programme in the Gulf of Hammamet, offshore Tunisia.
AGR chief executive office Sverre Skogen commented, “This is a significant win for AGR. Planning work has now commenced out of our Dubai office and once this is complete an operations team will move to the onsite project base prior to the well spudding later this year.”
The company said in a statement that it is currently looking at suitable jack-up rigs to operate the well while investigating the possibility of incorporating it into a larger drilling campaign in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Norwegian well management firm already has another offshore project in the North African country in which ARG will perform a drilling feasibility study for five wells on behalf of an energy investment company.
