Kuwait is set to add a second offshore rig by end-June with the Oriental Dragon jackup rig owned by Chinese state firm COSL expected to join its sister vessel Oriental Phoenix to drill off shore Kuwait within two months according to Norwegian engineering services provider, PSW Technologies. Oriental Phoenix arrived in Kuwaiti waters last year (MEES, 24 June 2022). PSW says it has signed an agreement with Halliburton to help mobilize Oriental Dragon. Halliburton was in 2019 awarded a contract to drill “six high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) exploration wells” using two jack up rigs (MEES, 19 July 2019).
