AGR Petroleum Services has secured a contract worth £835,000 to provide a drilling programme on behalf of London-based Serica Energy.

As a result of the contract, AGR Petroleum Services has contracted the Ocean Guardian semi-submersible rig from Diamond Offshore, which will be used to drill the Bandon exploration prospect off the west coast of Ireland in Licence PEL 01/06.

Offshore operations are scheduled to start in May 2009 and are expected to continue for approximately six weeks.
