According to ADES, the contract will be operated on a profit-sharing basis. The contract enables ADES to generate additional revenue without incurring huge capital expenditures usually associated with deepwater drilling.

ADES International Holding CEO Mohamed Farouk said: “We are extremely pleased to have secured a second deepwater drilling campaign with our top tier client in the Mediterranean, where we will build on our track record of consistently delivering high-quality service to our clients.

“This project is fully consistent with our focus on the region. With a string of major gas discoveries propelling demand for oil and gas services and prospective drilling programs, lucrative commercial opportunities continue to attract attention.

“ADES is on the right track, as we fully leverage our valuable partnership with Vantage and its high-quality asset in Egypt’s ultra-deepwater market.”
