To address the customer needs for upgrading and modernizing their old rig fleet for drilling deep and ultra deep wells, TSC led consortium, including TSC, Andrews Technologies Inc.

With more than 20 years of experiences in manufacturing and servicing mission critical high-end equipment in the energy industry and excellent track records, as well as reliable partners in supply chain, TSC’s consortium came out as the winner among several well known international bidders. The consortium was awarded three contracts, including the equipment supply contract, maintenance service contract for the rehabilitation, modernization, and automation upgrade of seven land drilling rigs, as well as the operation and maintenance service contract for several top drives and catwalks. The total amount of the contracts for the equipment supplies and the maintenance service is about US$98.1 million, which will be executed in batches with the completion at the end of 2025.

This is also the first time for TSC’s state-of-the-art control and drive systems and drilling cabins to enter the Mexican market.
Previously, the consortium has completed the modernization and upgrade for four similar old rigs for PEMEX, including a 7,000 meter rig which reportedly drilled a well with a total depth of 7,921 meters and initial oil production of 16,000 bbl/d. The performance and quality of the rigs have been well appreciated by the client. “We appreciate the business and trust by PEMEX for awarding these three major contracts to the Consortium and I am confident that we will deliver the state-of-the-art products to meet the quality and other terms and conditions specified in the contracts”, said Mr. Zhan Huafeng, CEO of CM Energy.
