ADES International Holding PLC ("ADES" or the "Company"), a leading oil & gas drilling and production services provider in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), is pleased to announce that it has entered, through its subsidiary ADES S.A.E., into a second deepwater drilling campaign with a top tier international oil company, for deepwater drilling services in the Egyptian Mediterranean area. The service will be provided using Vantage's Tungsten Explorer and covers one firm well, "Nigma 1", with the contract estimated to last 73 days.
The services will be subcontracted to ADVantage, a JV between ADES and Vantage Drilling International, leveraging ADES's pre-qualification for operations in the Mediterranean basin. ADVantage utilises ADES's experienced local workforce and Vantage's Tungsten Explorer drillship while combining the companies' extensive deepwater drilling experience.
The contract will operate on a profit-sharing basis, enabling ADES to generate additional revenue without incurring the significant capital expenditures normally associated with deepwater drilling.
