石油设备网讯 据油气新闻网3月25日消息称，继2月18日的公告之后，全球钻井及工程承包商KCA Deutag(“KCAD”)宣布，由于其陆地钻井业务的招标活动十分活跃，该公司获得了新的合同。这些合同总价值约为5400万美元，用于中东、俄罗斯、欧洲和非洲的钻井作业。
特别是中东地区的招标活动继续增加，对钻机的需求很高。
一个客户已经签订了三台2000马力的沙漠钻机，可以选择一段时间来保留它们用于未来的项目。这些高性能钻机最初由KCAD的钻机和油田设备制造商Bentec在德国的生产设施生产的。entec公司的钻井平台可以在世界上最具挑战性的环境下作业，非常适合沙漠的酷热环境。
在伊拉克，一份2000马力陆地钻井平台的新合同也被授予为一家全球能源行业产品和服务提供商钻探7口油井。这项钻探计划预计将于四月开始，持续至明年年初。
在俄罗斯，该公司的1000hp土地钻井平台之一已被该国一家领先的石油和天然气公司授予新的五年钻井合同，其中包括选择权。KCAD自2002年以来一直在俄罗斯运营，是该集团最大的业务领域之一。
在阿尔及利亚，该公司赢得了一份新的钻井合同，该合同将于6月开始，用于Bentec公司的1500马力快速移动钻机之一。。该钻井平台将进行一个短期的堵漏和废弃计划。
在德国，KCAD赢得了两份短期合同，都将于9月开始执行。第一份是Bentec公司建造的欧2000马力钻一口井，另一份是欧1500马力钻一口侧钻。
总裁西蒙•德鲁在评论全球陆地钻井市场的活动水平时表示：“很高兴看到国际钻井行业的活动再次在各个市场上崛起，并且价格仍然非常具有竞争力，我们很高兴看到这将帮助提高我们陆地钻井队伍的使用率。”

KCAD awarded new drilling contracts
Further to the announcement issued on 18 February, global drilling and engineering contractor KCA Deutag (“KCAD”) has announced the award of new contracts on the back of strong tendering activity in its land drilling business. These contracts, with a combined value of approximately US$54M, are for drilling operations in the Middle East, Russia, Europe and Africa.
Tendering activity in the Middle East in particular continues to increase, with a high level of demand for rigs.
A client has contracted three 2000hp Desert Rigs for an option period to reserve them for a future project. These high performance rigs were originally manufactured by Bentec, KCAD’s drilling rig and oilfield equipment manufacturer, at its production facilities in Germany. Bentec’s rigs are built to operate in the world’s most challenging environments, and are ideally suited to the extreme heat of the desert.
In Iraq, a new contract for a 2000hp land rig has also been awarded to drill seven wells for a global provider of products and services to the energy industry. This drilling programme is expected to commence in April and last until early next year.
In Russia one of the company's 1000hp land rigs has been awarded a new five year drilling contract, including options, by one of the country’s leading oil and gas companies. KCAD has been operating in Russia since 2002 and it is one of the group’s largest areas of operation.
In Algeria, the company has won a new drilling contract for one of Bentec’s fast moving 1500hp Speed Rigs which will commence in June. The rig will carry out a short term plug and abandonment programme.
In Germany, KCAD has won two short term contracts, both of which will commence in September. The first is for a Bentec built 2,000hp EURO rig to drill one well and the other is for a 1,500hp EURO rig to drill a sidetrack well.
Commenting on activity levels in the global land drilling market, Simon Drew, President of Land, said, “It is good to see activity picking up in the international drilling industry once again across various markets, and whilst pricing remains very competitive, we are pleased to see this feeding through to an increase in utilisation across our land drilling fleet.”
