The agreement represents an extension of Harris CapRock’s existing relationship with Nabors. Currently, Harris CapRock provides Nabors with similar services in other parts of the world including one base office and two land rigs in Papua New Guinea, one offshore rig in Gabon and one offshore platform rig in Southeast Asia.
Additionally, in 2010, Harris CapRock signed an agreement providing Nabors and its business unit, Canrig Drilling Technologies, with VSAT services to more than 378 land drilling rigs in North America. Provisions in the service agreement include broadband Internet, voice connectivity, corporate networking and real-time data to its personnel working at remote drilling sites. The contract came just one month after Harris CapRock launched FieldAccess™, its fully managed VSAT service designed uniquely for the land drilling market. FieldAccess was officially introduced to the market in August 2010. As a result of that service performance, Harris CapRock’s partnership with Nabors has grown to include its Iraq operations.
“We have worked with Nabors since 2004 on short-term drilling opportunities, and have provided services to other customers with Iraq activities since 2003,” said Tom Eaton, president, Harris CapRock. “With our expanded portfolio and added focus on services to specifically meet the needs of land drilling clients, we are proud to support Nabors’ growing operations in Iraq and elsewhere around the world.
“The partnership we have with Harris CapRock is based upon proven experience providing services to our land drilling fleet,” continued Valleru. “Harris CapRock’s on-time deployment in the Nabors North America roll-out in 2010 influenced our decision to select the company again for the Iraq project. In addition, Harris CapRock’s past experience supporting services in Iraq and internationally further builds upon its reputation of providing reliable, dependable services globally.
Harris CapRock is currently supporting a number of active project sites in Iraq to aid customers with government and energy operations, providing a range of fully managed communication solutions and systems integration services.
