Total Exploration and Production Nigeria has issued a tender for onshore land rig services at OML 58.
The land rig will be used in the drilling of seven (7) infill development wells and in the carrying out of deviated workover operations. The wells include three Ibewa infill wells, the 10BD-1N well, one Obagi infill gas well and two wells on the Obagi Major gas cap.
Work is to commence in the first quarter of 2022. The contractors must be prequalified on the Nipex system and the deadline for submission is on November 4th.
Recently, Total also launched a search for three accommodation vessels in support of its Ikike project. The vessels would be deployed in the first quarter of 2021 and the first production from the project is expected towards the end of 2021. Bids can be submitted until October 30th.
The pipeline coating work is currently ongoing at the Pipe Coaters Nigeria (PCN) facility, at the Onne Free Trade Zone, in Rivers State. The work is expected to take five months with additional services to be completed by November.
The senior manager of Tenaris PCN Ugochukwu Chijioke said the coating work would be carried out entirely by a Nigerian workforce and would directly employ more than 300 people.
Earlier this week, the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) praised Total’s progress on the line pipe coating work at Ikike.
