Velesto Lands $51M Contract with Chevron Malaysia Amid Regional Rig Resumptions
Velesto Drilling has been awarded a $51 million contract by Chevron Malaysia to provide integrated rig, drilling and completion (i-RDC) services for its North Malay Basin Full Field Development Campaign. The NAGA 8 jackup is expected to start the campaign in August 2026.
This marks Velesto's second i-RDC contract award supporting the North Malay Basin development program.
Chevron also announced a discovery at the 105-4X exploration well in Block 0 offshore Angola, which encountered an oil and gas condensate column of more than 600 meters in the primary Pinda reservoir.
