        沙特阿拉伯 ADES 集团旗下油气钻井服务商 ADES 控股公司（以下简称“ADES”），近日为旗下两艘自升式钻井平台，在非洲、欧洲市场斩获新的数百万美元钻井作业合同，进一步拓展全球业务布局。

        在尼日利亚市场，ADES 已与该国领先的独立能源企业 Seplat Energy Producing Nigeria 达成合作，拿下“Shelf Drilling Odyssey”号自升式钻井平台作业合同。该合同包含 2年固定作业期，并附带两个为期1年的未定价可选延期条款。

        据 ADES 披露，该钻井平台预计于2027年第一季度启动作业。平台在尼日利亚境内的现场支持服务，将由平台所有方的当地合作伙伴负责提供。

        该合同固定作业期部分的总价值（含动员和撤离费用）约为3.753亿沙特里亚尔（约合1.001亿美元），其中包含 ADES 当地合作伙伴所占份额。

        ADES 表示：“此次合同授予进一步巩固了公司在尼日利亚海上钻井市场的地位，也反映出西非和中非地区海上钻井活动持续增长、市场需求保持强劲的发展态势。”

        该公司补充称：“此次合同继近期 ‘Shelf Drilling Victory’号自升式钻井平台在尼日利亚获得合同之后，再次推动 ADES 在该地区取得重要业务进展。2026年第一季度和第二季度期间，公司已在该区域陆续获得多项合同，这些成果将支持集团获取长期订单储备、保持钻井平台高利用率，并为股东创造可持续价值的战略目标。”

        与此同时，ADES 在欧洲市场也取得新进展，其 “Shelf Drilling Fortress”号自升式钻井平台已获得英国北海某未披露名称运营商授予的钻井合同。

        根据合同安排，该平台将完成 2口固定井钻井作业，固定作业期最低为 550天。此外，合同还包含两个可选延期条款，每个延期条款对应 1口井作业，最低作业期限均为 275天。

        该平台预计于2026年第四季度启动作业，合同总价值（含固定作业期、可选延期及动员和撤离费用）约为4.83亿沙特里亚尔（约合1.29亿美元）。

 

        ADES 指出：“此次中标体现了北海地区海上钻井市场的良好需求环境，此前我们刚为‘Shelf Drilling Winner’号平台在荷兰海域拿下合同延期，两项成果相互呼应，进一步提升了集团在欧洲市场的影响力。”

        该公司强调，这些新增合同进一步强化了集团获取长期订单储备、保持钻井平台高利用率并为股东创造可持续价值的战略方向，同时彰显了 ADES 在全球海上钻井市场中的竞争实力。

        值得一提的是，此次斩获新订单距 ADES 与 Saipem 达成收购沙特阿拉伯 Saipem（SAS）的协议尚不足一个月。该交易完成后，将进一步扩大 ADES 自升式钻井平台规模，增强其海上钻井服务能力，为未来业务拓展奠定基础。

ADES Holding Company, an oil and gas drilling services provider that is part of Saudi Arabia-headquartered ADES Group, has landed new multimillion-dollar assignments for two jack-up rigs in Africa and Europe.

ADES has secured a contract award for the Shelf Drilling Odyssey jack-up rig in Nigeria with Seplat Energy Producing Nigeria, one of the African country's leading independent energy companies. The contract duration comprises a two-year firm period, with two unpriced optional extension periods of one year each.

The rig's operations are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027. The local in-country support services will be provided by the rig owner's in-country partner. The total contract value for the firm period only, including mobilization and demobilization fees, is approximately SAR 375.3 million (around $100.1 million), inclusive of ADES’ in-country partner's share.

The firm emphasized: “The award further strengthens ADES' position in the Nigerian offshore drilling market and reflects the healthy demand environment and continued momentum in offshore activity across West and Central Africa.

“The contract follows the recent award of Shelf Drilling Victory in Nigeria and builds on a series of contract wins secured by ADES in the region during the first and second quarters of 2026, supporting the group's strategy of securing long-term backlog, maintaining high fleet utilization and creating sustainable value for shareholders.”

Meanwhile, ADES has won a contract award for the Shelf Drilling Fortress jack-up rig in the UK North Sea with an undisclosed North Sea operator. The deal entails two firm wells with a minimum duration of 550 days, in addition to two optional one-well extensions with a minimum duration of 275 days each.

With operations anticipated to start during the fourth quarter of 2026, the total contract value, including the firm duration, optional extensions, mobilization and demobilization fees, is about SAR 483 million (equivalent to approximately $129 million).

ADES highlighted: “The award reflects the healthy demand environment in the North Sea and follows the recent contract extension secured by ADES in the region for the Shelf Drilling Winner in the Netherlands.

“Together, these awards reinforce the group's strategy of securing long-term backlog, maintaining high fleet utilization and creating sustainable value for shareholders.”

These new assignments come less than a month after ADES sealed a deal with Saipem to acquire Saudi Arabian Saipem (SAS), enlarging its jack-up fleet.
