AGR's software solutions division had signed its first contract with Sakhalin Energy.
The three-year deal includes the latest version of AGR's P1 software, as well as maintenance and support services. The software allows operators to maximize performance during well-construction projects.
AGR relaunched P1 Version 4.0 this spring. The latest version draws on data from previous well-construction projects to offer operators a range of solutions to problems that may arise during construction work. It also provides information on the net effect of changes, allowing users to understand the financial implications.
Petter Mathisen, vice president of AGR’s software solutions division, says: “This contract adds to AGR’s position in Russia where currently Rosneft is using P1, and we are hoping this latest win will lead to more projects in the country."
Sakhalin Energy is the operator of the Sakhalin-2 project.
