This is another important step in the execution of our strategy.

Our operations mix of conventional drilling in both land and offshore, and now in unconventional, is in line with our strategy execution and proves the resilience of our business model. The successful startup of the 10 new land rigs previously announced is a key priority in 2024. While we will deploy our new rigs, we always remain focused on achieving the highest Health, Safety and Environment standards across our operations.”
