The jack-up drilling rig HAKURYU-11 started the drilling operation based on the subcontract with PetroVietnam Drilling & Well Services Corporation on 19 November at Vung Tau, offshore Vietnam.

Energy companies using the system will be able to access a reliable supply of up to 100 MW of power over distances of up to 600 km and at a depth of 3000 m via a single cable, paving the way for greater access to offshore hydrocarbons.

The Senegal North Ultra-Deep Offshore (SN-UDO-19) 3D survey will covers over 5100 km2.

Most of the supply growth next year in the Gulf of Mexico will come from deepwater projects, according to the energy research and consulting firm.
