ABERDEEN, UK -- Carigali-PTTEP has awarded BJ Services Company's Tubular Services product line a two-year contract. BJ will run standard and chrome tubulars in support of CPOC's development program in block B-17-01 of the Malaysia-Thailand joint development area (JDA), located between Thailand and Malaysia.

BJ Services will use specialized minimal marking nonferrous tubular handling equipment, as well as the Salvo graphical analysis system, and fill and circulate tool (FAC), which provides fast, effective fill-up of casing string while running. The chrome tubular completions will be run from platforms in water depths of up to 250 ft (76 m). An estimated total of five platforms with 64 wells will be completed.

The contract began in August 2008, and is being carried out by BJ Services personnel based in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Songkhla, Thailand.
