Florence, Italy; July 30, 2008: VetcoGray, a GE Oil & Gas business, applied its latest technology to overcome unique challenges, reduce project costs and risks, and successfully convert an exploration well to full production service at Agiba Petroleum Company's West Ashrafi hydrocarbon facility in Egypt's Gulf of Suez, Red Sea.
The project marks the first time that VetcoGray has converted a mudline exploration system to an SG-1 wellhead subsea system for production duty. The newly converted well entered service in April of this year.
