BAUER Aktiengesellschaft: BAUER Group signs engineering contract for
development of deep drilling rigs
23.06.2014 / 12:53
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Schrobenhausen - At the end of May, BAUER Deep Drilling GmbH, the deep
drilling specialist subsidiary of BAUER Maschinen GmbH, entered into an
engineering contract with Saxon Energy Services Inc. relating to the
development and manufacture of deep onshore drilling rigs.
International drilling contractor Saxon Energy Services Inc. is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Schlumberger, the world's leading provider of oilfield
services. Saxon chose to enter into the engineering contract based on
Bauer's history of innovative machinery manufacturing, its long-standing
experience in the automation of unconventional drilling rigs and the
flexibility of its development work.
Bauer and Saxon have been cooperating for some time, and that collaboration
will now be intensified further. The engineering contract relates to the
joint development of a deep drilling rig designated ATD 750. The rig, which
will have a hook load of 375 tonnes, is designed for applications in the
oil and gas sector. The design incorporates the highest standards of
mobility, efficiency and automation. Start of production of the first rig
is scheduled for 2015.
Professor Thomas Bauer, Chairman of the Management Board of BAUER AG,
comments: "The cooperation with an established and renowned drilling
contractor such as Saxon marks another major step forward for us in
expanding our deep drilling operations. I am sure that the agreement will
prove highly beneficial to both companies."
