Greka Drilling Limited
("Greka Drilling" or the "Company")
100 WELL DRILLING CONTRACT IN INDIA
Greka Drilling Limited (AIM: GDL), the largest independent and
specialized unconventional oil & gas driller in Asia, is
pleased to announce that it has signed a contract with Essar Oil
Limited ("Essar") (the "Contract") a listed Indian company. The
Company is to provide turnkey and allied services to Essar in
India, and is contracted to drill 100 wells with the Contract value
estimated at around US$ 65 million. The Contract is expected to be
completed by the end of 2014.
The Company plans to relocate 5 GD75 rigs from its current fleet
in China to meet the client's desire to expeditiously start their
drilling program. The current program is to drill a combination of
vertical, directional and LiFaBriC wells at the client's election.
Drilling operations are expected to start in the second quarter of
2014 subject to various pre-mobilization requirements being
completed with the client prior to yearend. This continuous
drilling program is to be implemented in Essar's Raniganj block in
West Bengal, Block RG (East).
The deployment of these rigs will not affect ongoing drilling
campaigns for customers in China during 2014.
Mr. Randeep S. Grewal, Chairman and CEO of Greka Drilling,
commented;
"This is yet another milestone completed within the envisioned
timeline for Greka Drilling. The Company has a clear objective of
diversifying its client base, geographical operations and drilling
completions. This Contract achieves all such objectives.
We look forward to adding value to Essar's objectives in
producing significant commercial volumes of coal bed methane from
its large acreage position in the Raniganj block.
Our successful track record to date in China and fifteen years
of specialized CBM knowledge enabled us to achieve a rapid
understanding of the strata we expect to be drilling under this
contract. We provide our clients with the very best technology and
methodology available in the industry and are confident that our
rigs, skilled personnel and management will provide the same safe,
environmentally progressive and efficient drilling operations for
Essar in India as we do for a number of our clients in China."
