KCA Deutag has announced that it has been awarded land drilling contracts worth more than $150 million in Oman from the country’s “leading exploration and production companies”.
Included in the awards is a five-year extension to a contract originally secured in 2015. The extension, which covers the provision of staffing for customer-owned rigs, hoists and workshops, will see KCA Deutag provide approximately 420 people through the delivery of the contract. The company has also bagged one-year contract extensions for eight KCA Deutag rigs working in Oman.
“These awards demonstrate that despite challenging markets, KCA Deutag's operational strengths and capability at, and beyond, the rig site, continue to be recognized by our customers,” Simon Drew, the president of land at KCA Deutag, said in a company statement.
Earlier this year, Turan Drilling & Engineering Company LLC – a KCA Deutag and SOCAR AQS company - revealed that it had been awarded a contract amendment to manage procurement, maintenance and warehousing activities on behalf of BP Exploration (Caspian Sea) Limited.
