Stena Drilling has been awarded the A 1-well firm programme by Energean in Morocco
Under the contract, Stena Forth, which is designed to withstand harsh offshore environments, will be deployed for the drilling campaign that is due to begin in Q3 2024. The terms of the contract also leaves scope for the drilling of an additional option well.
With this contract, Energean uses Stena Drilling's fleet services for the third time after Stena DrillMAX and Stena IceMAX. The Stena Don has also served Chariot's projects, who is a partner in this campaign as well.
Stena Drilling is anticipating a return to the Anchois field as well for Energean later this year.
Reveling in repeat business
“We are delighted to secure this drilling campaign for the Stena Forth in Morocco,” said Eirik Reinertsen, chief commercial officer at Stena Drilling. “This contract award underscores our strong relationships with our clients, resulting in repeat business for our fleet, and our reputation for delivering safe and efficient drilling operations.”
“Energean and our partners are pleased to work with Stena Drilling for the upcoming campaign in Morocco,” said Simon French, head of wells and decomissioning at Energean. “We look forward to the successful drilling and testing of the Anchois East appraisal well with the Stena Forth Drillship which is a critical step in moving the project closer to FID.”
