This is GPC’s third lease renewal with ADES since the first lease for the jackup in April 2015.

With the renewal of this rig lease, the company aims to gain multi-million dollar revenue over the next two years.

ADES CEO Dr Mohamed Farouk was quoted by Offshore-mag.com as saying: “The renewals are also another vote of confidence for ADES at an opportune moment when the Egyptian Government has announced plans to open up new areas for oil exploration in the Red Sea.”
