Vista Energy和Nabors Industries宣布正式签署增加第三座钻机的合同，旨在加速Vista在阿根廷南部Vaca Muerta的开发。

“增加第三个钻机将为我们提供灵活性，加快我们在瓦卡穆尔塔的活动计划。 Vista 首席运营官 Juan Garoby 表示：“除了之前宣布的 46 口井外，我们预计到年底还将有 4 到 8 口井投入生产。” “我们很高兴与 Nabors 合作开展这个项目，这代表了 Vista 早期战略关系的重大延伸，以我们的 One Team 计划为基础。”

Nabors 将部署具有尖端技术的高规格钻机。它计划于 2024 年下半年开始运营。为了支持 Vista 减少 Vaca Muerta 运营碳足迹的计划，该设备有可能实现电气化。

今年早些时候，Vista 利用 Nabors 提供的技术为 Vaca Muerta 的第一座钻机 Nabors PACE F24 实现了电气化，该钻机完全由可再生能源提供动力。

Vista Energy and Nabors Industries announced the official signing of a contract to add a third drilling rig, aiming to accelerate Vista´s development of Vaca Muerta in southern Argentina.

“The addition of a third drilling rig will provide us flexibility to accelerate our activity plan in Vaca Muerta. We forecast to put into production between four to eight wells by year-end, in addition to the 46 previously announced,” said Juan Garoby, COO of Vista. “We are pleased to carry out this project in collaboration with Nabors, which represents a significant extension of a strategic relationship during Vista´s early days, anchored in our One Team program.”

Nabors will deploy a high-spec rig with cutting-edge technologies. It is scheduled to commence operations in the second half of 2024. In support of Vista’s plan to reduce the carbon footprint of Vaca Muerta operations, there is potential to electrify this equipment.

Earlier this year, using Nabors-provided technology, Vista electrified the first drilling rig in Vaca Muerta, Nabors PACE F24, which is entirely powered by renewable energy.
