Chinese independent oilfield services provider Anton Oilfield Services Group said June 9 it received a bid for horizontal well drilling and fracturing integration for two well projects in northwestern China. The contract is estimated to be worth about 53 million renminbi.

Anton covers the new tight oil development services markets in eastern and western China. Unconventional oil and gas techniques are used, including well completions and multistage fracturing. Orders for tight oil development services total 120 million renminbi.

In May, a contract was received for openhole multistage fracturing services for a horizontal well in the Sulige area in Erdos.

In China over the last two years, old oilfields have achieved breakthroughs by using unconventional technology, the company said.
