Saipem secures six-well drilling contract from Wintershall Dea

Saipem has been awarded by Wintershall Dea Norge a contract for the drilling campaign of six wells plus options to drill additional wells in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.

Operations, which are expected to start in 4Q21, will be performed by the semi-submersible rig Scarabeo 8, a drilling unit designed to be 'zero pollution and zero discharge' and equipped for operations in harsh environments.

The rig will operate in direct continuation with operations previously committed for other clients.
