Houston oilfield service company Halliburton has won nine conditional drilling and completion services contracts for SNE Field Development Phase 1 offshore Senegal

The drilling campaign, awarded by Australian exploration and production company Woodside Energy, could start in late 2020 or early 2021, includes drilling and completion of 18 wells with up to eight optional wells over an estimated three-four year term.

The contracts awarded include drilling, logging, cementing, lower completions, e-line/slick line, coiled tubing and well testing services.

Shannon Slocum, senior vice-president of the Eurasia, Europe and Sub-Sahara Africa region for Halliburton, said, “We are excited to win this work and to provide services from our multiple product service lines on what is likely to be the first deepwater oil development in Senegal.”

“In addition to our services, Halliburton will invest in Senegal through constructing facilities, hiring local staff and potentially utilising local vendors/suppliers,” he added.

The company stated that initial engineering work will begin in Perth, Australia, later this year, and then will transfer to Dakar, Senegal in 2020.

This multi-contract award follows an earlier conditional award to Halliburton in December 2018 for drilling and completion fluids services.
