The MIDIR rig has been selected by Perenco Oil & Gas Gabon in 2017 among Dixstone Drilling fleet to develop the Ganga field, a thin 11m oil ring located in the magnificent forest of Gabon. The field was originally discovered in the 80’s and never fully developed. By having a dedicated skidding rig available permanently on location, POGG and Dixstone have industrialized the development of the field, drilling close to 50 wells in less than 5 years from 7 drilling pads with excellent safety records and rig uptime, lowering in fine the cost per well. More than 60 million barrels have been unlocked from this semi-abandoned field!
Various upgrades have been done to the rig along the years to extend its drilling envelop and improve the delivery of each well, the latest being a new electric TDS to this conventional rig. POGG has extended the rig contract for 2 more years, not only on Ganga field but also to develop other onshore oil and gas fields they have in their portfolio.
This 132-pax accommodation jack-up will be fully reactivated and upgraded to make her soon available for offshore accommodation market.
There is an intense and challenging program ahead.
Sunny weather for the departure of Magisus from Dixstone Netherlands. What an incredible 15 months journey to give a second life to this young lady as a ready-to-use Workover / Gas Lift compression platform. Wishing her a safe trip in the hands of Dixstone Marine department to her final destination in Democratic Republic of Congo !
