Zimbabwe contracts awarded

摘要

AUSTRALIA-LISTED junior Invictus Energy has awarded key contracts to SLB, Baker Hughes and NOV as it gears up to spud its Mukuyu-2 appraisal well in Zimbabwe within the coming few months.Last year, the original Mukuyu-1 probe and a sidetrack well found promising signs of oil and gas, but challenging downhole conditions and equipment failures prevented a full suite of data from being acquired.Invictus has awarded SLB an open-hole wireline logging contract, while Baker Hughes in combination with NOV have been awarded the directional drilling and logging while drilling contracts.Geolog International has been awarded the mudlogging contract.The remaining service contracts - including cementing, drilling fluids and mud engineering, tubular running, fishing and abandonment, liner hangers, reservoir technical services and project management - have been retained by Baker Hughes.
