San Donato Milanese (Milan), January 17, 2017 – Saipem has been awarded new contracts and the extension of pre-existing agreements in the onshore drilling sector in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Bolivia and Argentina for a total value of $240 million.

In the Middle East, a strategic area for the Company, Saipem boosts its presence with a further important three-year extension to activities relating to 6 medium-sized onshore drilling rigs already operating in Saudi Arabia. This is in addition to extensions of equal duration announced in September 2016 in relation to 10 rigs.

In Morocco, close on the heels of business already acquired in that country, Saipem sees the high quality of its services recognised with a four-month extension to the contract for the supply of onshore drilling and workover services using a medium-sized rig that will operate in the north of the country near the Algerian border.

In Bolivia, a country of significant interest considering its hydrocarbon potential, Saipem strengthens its long-standing presence thanks to the award of a one year contract for a medium-sized rig.

Again in Latin America, the Company has acquired a new eight-month contract in Argentina for a second hydraulic rig in addition to the one announced on 22 September last year. This new award marks the consolidation of Saipem into the country as well as the broadening of its presence in a market of special interest on the South American continent due to its size and prospects for growth, both of which have the potential for attracting the major international oil companies.

“With these new awards, Saipem consolidates its presence of many years in the Middle East and Latin America with an eye on growth in the drilling market in these strategic areas of the world”, said Stefano Cao, CEO of Saipem.

$1B-plus award

Italian oilfield services firm Saipem (OTCPK:SAPMY, OTCPK:SAPMF) confirms a $1B-plus award of two contracts with Saudi Aramco covering developments at a trio of offshore fields in Saudi Arabia.

Saipem says it will provide and install subsea systems, pipelines, subsea cables and umbilicals, platform decks and jackets, plus additional maintenance and dismantling works on existing platforms already operating in the fields.

BusinessSan Donato Milanese

San Donato Milanese (Milan), 22 September 2016 – Saipem has been awarded new contracts and extensions to existing contracts in the onshore drilling segment in the Middle East and South America. The awards have an overall value of $430 million.

In Saudi Arabia, Saipem has been awarded an extension of three years to drilling activities being carried out by ten 2000 HP drilling rigs. This enables Saipem to consolidate its presence in the strategic area of the Middle East, in which it currently has thirty onshore rigs and three offshore rigs. In the light of the particularly challenging market conditions, this represents a strong signal of confidence in Saipem and recognition of the high quality of the services it offers.

In South America, in addition to various extensions ranging in duration from two to twenty-four months for medium and high power rigs in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Chile, Saipem has also been awarded a new contract for operations in Argentina, which will be carried out by an hydraulic type rig over a period of eighteen months. This new award will enable Saipem to return to one of the largest onshore drilling markets in South America, whose positive growth prospects have seen it attract the interest of major international oil companies. Saipem’s presence in Argentina will also enable it to further diversify geographically in the area.
