Kuala Lumpur, 16 June 2022

Sapura Energy Berhad (“Sapura Energy” or “the Group”), wishes to announce that its Drilling and Engineering & Construction (E&C) business segments, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint-venture, have secured six major contract wins in Asia Pacific and Atlantic region, with a combined value of RM2.7 billion, of which RM176 million is contributed by its joint venture company.

These wins are a testament to Sapura Energy’s Reset Plan; which includes a shift in its bid strategy to focus on areas where the Group is highly competitive.

Our Drilling business segment continues to secure new contracts under the current market conditions. The segment is expected to increase its asset utilisation rate, from the current eight rigs in operations, to eleven rigs by the end of FY2023.
