Weatherford International Plc has been awarded two fully integrated rig contracts and one well services (through-tubing intervention) contract on Oct. 8 with a multinational operator in one of the world’s largest proven oil fields located in Iraq.
“Weatherford has operated in Iraq since 2006, longer than any other multinational oilfield services provider,” Frederico Justus, president of the Eastern Hemisphere for Weatherford, said. “During that time, Weatherford proved to operators in Iraq that its capabilities across the life of the well reduce costs, enhance safety and maximize production efficiency. This experience gave the operator confidence in our ability to execute these turnkey drilling projects in one of their most strategic global locations.”
