"Work is expected to begin before the end of this month."

Both the contracts were chartered for work on Petrobel-Eni concessions in Egypt’s Gulf of Suez. 

Furthermore, ADES has signed a farm-in agreement for its ADMARINE VIII offshore jack-up drill rig with Fanar Petroleum Company, under its existing contract with the South Abu Zenima Petroleum Company (Petrozenima).

The scope of work under this farm-in agreement will see the rig undertake a frac job on the concession’s North July well to bolster its productivity. Work is expected to begin before the end of this month.

Commenting on the contracts, Dr ADES International Holding CEO Mohamed Farouk said: “Our ability to secure new awards and extend existing ones even during a period of oil price decline is a testament to the strength of our business model and the quality of our drilling and workover services at highly competitive rates."
