Malaysian services and energy company Sapura Energy said it has received new work orders worth 1.2 billion ringgit (US$284 million) in engineering and construction, operations and maintenance, and offshore drilling services.
All the work is in Malaysia, with the sole exception of a drilling contract in Thailand where PTTEP hired the tender assist drilling rig Sapura T-17 for three years starting in October or November 2021, while PTTEP also awarded an extension for the TAD rig Sapura T-18 for four months from June 2021.
