Weatherford International has secured a deepwater integrated completions contract from Esso Exploration & Production Nigeria, an affiliate of ExxonMobil, supporting offshore Nigeria operations.
The contract falls within Weatherford’s well construction and completions portfolio and covers integrated upper and lower completions systems for deepwater wells.
According to the company, the scope of work is focused on supporting well integrity, operational reliability and efficiency throughout the lifecycle of offshore wells.
Weatherford said the completions equipment will be configured through its global supply chain network while supporting local execution and in-country service delivery in Nigeria.
“This contract reflects our ability to deliver integrated completions solutions for deepwater operations,” said Girish Saligram, Weatherford president and CEO. “We will provide technologies designed to support well integrity, reliability, and efficient execution in complex offshore environments.”
The award adds to continued deepwater development activity offshore West Africa, where operators are advancing offshore drilling and subsea investment programs targeting long-term oil and gas production growth.
