据OilNOW网8月21日拿骚报道，作为明年在巴哈马钻取第一个勘探井的协调方案的一部分，巴哈马石油公司(BPC)日前与多家外国公司签署了一系列合作协议。

BPC已与全球最大的海上钻机公司之一的Seadrill公司达成了一项框架协议，根据协议，后者将向前者提供第六代钻机。这项框架协议规定了关键的商业参数，确定了钻机的日费率，并规定了在明年上半年交付钻机的时间间隔，如果资金允许，还可以将钻井活动扩展到两口井同时进行的项目。

BPC已任命全球领先的国际承包商哈里伯顿公司为综合油井服务提供商，并已任命美国通用电气旗下的贝克休斯公司向BPC提供一系列与油井相关的设备。

BPC表示，初探井费用修改后的估计值下降到了2500万至3000万美元之间。

First exploration well to be drilled in Bahamas next year

Bahamas Petroleum Company (BPC) has entered into a series of agreements as part of a coordinated approach toward drilling its first exploration well in The Bahamas in 2020.

The company has entered into a framework agreement with Seadrill, one of the world’s largest offshore drill rig companies, for the provision of a sixth-generation drilling rig. The Framework Agreement sets out key commercial parameters, fixes a day rate, and specifies a time slot for delivery of the rig in the first half of 2020 with the ability to extend the drilling campaign to a concurrent two-well program, should funding permit.

It has appointed leading international contractor, Halliburton, as integrated well services provider and BakerHughes GE has been appointed to provide a range of well-related equipment.

BPC said the revised estimate of initial exploration well cost came down to between US$25-US$30 million
