撒哈拉集团正在扩大其上游产能，目标是在未来五年内将石油日产量提高到35万桶。这一增长将得益于七座全新钻井平台的收购。

Asharami Energy首席技术官Leste Aihevba指出，此次收购的钻机已取得成效，其中一台名为L-Buba的2000马力陆地钻机已开始作业，在Sahara的一个油田钻探了一口天然气开发井；第二台钻机目前正部署到现场，准备钻探一口石油开发井。其他钻机也将很快部署到位。

这些钻井平台将由撒哈拉集团旗下的 Arahas Global Oilfield Services 公司管理。

Sahara Group is expanding its upstream capacity with a target of producing 350,000 barrels of oil per day (boepd) within the next five years. This growth will be driven by the acquisition of seven brand-new rigs.

Leste Aihevba, CTO of Asharami Energy, noted that this rig acquisition is already yielding results, noting that one of the rigs, the 2000 HP Land rig named L-Buba, has commenced operations by spudding a gas development well in one of Sahara’s fields, with the second rig currently being mobilized to the site to spud an oil development well. Other rigs will follow soon.

The rigs will be managed by Arahas Global Oilfield Services, a Sahara Group company.
