越南石油钻井服务公司（PV Drilling）宣布，PV Drilling VIII 自升式钻井平台将于 2026 年第三季度在马来西亚开始其首次钻井作业。

根据新合同，该钻井平台将在一年内连续执行两项开发计划。第一项计划将在沙巴州钻探三口井，预计于2026年7月1日至15日之间开始，持续约60天。完成后，该钻井平台将前往砂拉越州，开展为期300天的开发计划，目标是钻探七口井。

2026 年，PV Drilling 将在马来西亚市场运营两台钻机——PV Drilling VI 和 PV Drilling VIII。PV Drilling VIII 钻机已升级，可用于离线作业、高压高温 (HPHT) 钻井，并扩大了住宿容量，最多可容纳 150 名人员。

PetroVietnam Drilling & Well Service Corporation (PV Drilling) announced that the PV Drilling VIII jackup will begin its first drilling campaign in Malaysia in Q3 2026.

Under the new contract, the rig will carry out two consecutive development programs within one year. The first campaign will involve three wells in Sabah, expected to start between 1 and 15 July 2026 and last about 60 days. After completion, the rig will move to Sarawak for a 300-day development campaign targeting seven wells.

During 2026, PV Drilling will have two rigs active in the Malaysian market — PV Drilling VI and PV Drilling VIII. The PV Drilling VIII rig has been upgraded for offline activities, high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) drilling, and expanded accommodation capacity for up to 150 personnel.
