AGR has been awarded a well management contract from Cooper Energy Tunisa Bargou.

The contract will see AGR perform the planning, execution and post-drilling activities for a one-well program in the Gulf of Hammamet offshore Tunisia.

AGR is currently seeking a suitable jackup rig to operate the well, and investigating the possibility of incorporating it into a larger drilling campaign in the Mediterranean Sea.

Sverre Skogen, AGR’s chief executive officer, commented, “Planning work has now commenced out of our Dubai office, and once this is complete an operations team will move to the onsite project base prior to the well spudding later this year.”
