The international licence is for ExxonMobil’s patented Non-Aqueous Fluid Gravel Packing (NAFPac™) technique for gravel pack completions.

The company has been awarded two fully integrated rig contracts and one well services (through-tubing intervention) contract.

The contract required SIMMONS EDECO to provide onshore drilling services on a field in the south of Mexico.

The contracts are with Saudi Aramco for four jack-ups.

The SA-01 appraisal well in the Serenity field in the North Sea has been spud.

The settlement is in relation to engineering, procurement and construction contracts for the construction of six semi-submersible drilling rigs for subsidiaries of Sete Brasil.

The KP-1 exploration well is located onshore southern Central Kalimantan in Indonesia.

Johan Sverdrup has expected recoverable reserves of 2.7 billion boe and the full field can produce up to 660 000 bpd at peak.

Preliminary evaluation of the Hibiscus Updip prospect in the Dussafu licence offshore Gabon indicates gross recoverable reserves of 40 to 50 million bbl of oil, significantly greater than the pre-drill expectations.

The Tambak-2 well is primarily designed as an appraisal of the southern area of the Mako gas field in the West Natuna Basin, offshore Indonesia.

To be competitive in today's oil and gas industry is first and foremost about upgrading the user experience and not by producing new rigs, says Andreas Grydeland Sulejewski, Neptune Software.

The company has won a contract with AS Norske Shell in Norway to provide rig support for the drilling and completion of a gas producer well on the Knarr field.
