Aquaterra Energy has been awarded a fourth contract to supply a High Pressure Drilling Riser in as little as 18 months. The multi-million dollar contract firmly secures Aquaterra as the leading Drilling Riser supplier to the offshore industry.
A brand new High Pressure Drilling Riser will be supplied to a global operator for their drilling operations in the North Sea. Eight subsea wells will be drilled from a harsh environment jack-up.
