ESTec announces Top Drive Rental Contract
ESTec Systems Corp. is pleased to announce it's
subsidiary ESTec Oilfield Inc. ("ESTec" or the "Company")
has signed a significant top drive rental contract.
The contract is with a national drilling contractor
and provides for ESTec to supply one IntegraLine 150iH Top Drive,
along with an operator and technical support. The drive has been
delivered and installed on the contractor's rig in northern British
Columbia and drilling is expected to commence this weekend.
The Company anticipates the top drive's rental
will generate $50,000.00 per month in revenue and the contractor
expects to use the unit until the end of April.
At a height of only 15 feet, the IntegraLine
150iH is the smallest top drive in the world, and the only one that
is compatible with double and super single rigs. The drive system
enables drilling contractors to increase productivity by as much
as 25 percent, while dramatically reducing employee injury rates
as well as enhancing over-all site and drilling efficiency.
ESTec has had a lot of interest in the
IntegraLine 150iH Top Drive. However, a mild winter coupled with
uncertainty in the world's oil economy has stalled drilling and
delayed both sales and rentals. Industry analysts and management
expect activity will resume shortly, therefore ESTec is completing
construction of two more drives and there are rental and sales opportunities
for each.
On behalf of the Company,
Anthony B. Nelson
President
