Wednesday, July 22 2026

Côte d’Ivoire

Saipem has been awarded a new offshore drilling contract by Eni Côte d’Ivoire Limited, valued at approximately 260 million USD.

In particular, the drillship Santorini will be deployed offshore Côte d’Ivoire for a long-term development drilling campaign, with operations scheduled to begin in early 2027.

The project includes a firm commitment for an extended drilling program, with the potential deployment of the rig in neighbouring countries as well as additional optional periods, thus further enhancing the long-term visibility and continuity of the unit’s future utilization.
