Grup Servicii Petroliere (GSP) has been awarded an offshore drilling contract in Tunisia by Numhyd.
Drilling operations will be carried out with the GSP Jupiter, a cantilever type mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU).
The rig is currently under preparation for the contract in Limassol, Cyprus. GSP Jupiter is expected to be promptly moved onto location and drill one firm well (and one optional).
This is the second offshore drilling campaign GSP provides for Numhyd offshore Tunisia, after the exploration drilling operations GSP Saturn performed in 2011 and 2012.
Numhyd is a jointly owned and managed oil company, founded by the Tunisian Co. of Petroleum Activities (ETAP) and Algerian national oil company Sonatrach, who each own 50%.
