The Chairman of the Management Board of JSC Uzbekneftegaz, Abdugani Sanginov, met with Zhang Xiaodong, President of the Chinese company Honghua Group Limited. The parties discussed the progress of existing contracts, the quality of drilling equipment, and prospects for expanding cooperation.
One of the key topics was the execution of the contract for the supply of four drilling rigs, each capable of lifting loads weighing 450 tons. Sanginov emphasized the need to eliminate shortcomings identified during factory tests and acceptance procedures, as well as ensure the timely delivery of equipment that meets quality and reliability requirements.
The participants also considered the possibility of purchasing another four drilling rigs of the ZJ70 model, equipped with an automated control system. Further development in this area will depend on the timely fulfillment of obligations under the first contract.
