Vietnam's PV Drilling has secured a contract from Idemitsu Gas Production (Vietnam) to supply a jack-up drilling rig for an offshore exploration and appraisal campaign in the Nam Con Son Basin in 2027.

Under the agreement, signed on October 16, PV Drilling will cooperate with ENEOS Drilling to provide the Hakuryu-14 jack-up rig, managed and operated by ENEOS Drilling, for drilling operations in Blocks 05-1b and 05-1c offshore Vietnam.

The rig will drill the SV-2X well as part of an appraisal and exploration expansion project at the Sao Vang–Dai Nguyet field cluster, where Idemitsu operates the petroleum contract.

The contract covers a firm drilling period of approximately 38 - 40 days for the SV-2X main wellbore, with an optional 55 - 60 days for drill stem testing (DST) and drilling the SV-2XST sidetrack wellbore.
