“In addition to the two rigs already commissioned for Iraq, we are planning to ship a third rig from Dubai into the region, expected to be operational in 2011, and are also in the process of building two additional 1,500hp Speed Rigs, manufactured by Bentec, to address the specific requirements of Iraq. They are expected to go into service in during 2012.
“KCA DEUTAG has also recently signed an MoU with the Iraq Drilling Company to jointly pursue future drilling and training opportunities in Iraq and we have begun recruiting Iraqi engineers in line with our policy of knowledge sharing. KCA DEUTAG has a long history in the Middle East and was involved with the Iraqi oil services sector as early as in the 1950s and operated successfully in the country up until the 1980s. We again look forward to providing safe, effective and trouble-free services to the re-emerging Iraqi oil industry and to helping rebuild its presence on the global oil market, and thus contribute to the overall economy.”
