Norwegian group AGR has signed up to a master well services contract with Chevron USA for provision of dual gradient drilling (DGD) offshore operations in the deepwater sector of the US Gulf of Mexico.
The contract is for five years and will dovetail with AGR’s existing four-year contract for DGD project management and engineering services moves towards a close later this year, with the testing and load-out of the world’s first DGD system for use on a deepwater drillship, the Pacific Santa Ana, which will now go to work for Chevron
