Short History 

In 2004, following the privatization of National Oil Company, Petrom, GSP employed 90% of the personnel of its Offshore 

Drilling Branch, Petromar - the entire offshore drilling, maintenance and maritime crew members and the onshore technical 

assistance & engineering personnel, and took over six offshore drilling rigs, five offshore support vessels and a crane barge. 

Today, a significant part of GSP`s top and middle management gathers offshore engineering specialists who developed their 

careers within Petromar or IFLGS Bucharest (the operational base of the Drilling and Special Geological Operations 

Enterprise). The above mentioned companies were established in the 1970s and have a long history in the offshore drilling 

industry, both being branches of the National oil company, Petrom.

DLS Project – Black Sea, Russian Federation 

Ultimate Client: Gazprom, Russian Federation 

The Dzhubga – Lazarevskoye – Sochi gas pipeline is part of the Program for Construction of Olympic Facilities 

and Development of Sochi as a Mountain-Climatic Resort, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. 

The gas pipeline is designed to provide a reliable energy supply to Sochi and other areas, including delivery of gas 

to the Olympic facilities which are under construction; it gives a powerful impulse to the implementation of gas supply 

in both private and public households of Sochi and the Tuapse District, particularly facilitating the power supply on the 

Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. 

The total length of the gas pipeline is 177 kilometers, including the 159.5 kilometer offshore section. The pipeline route runs 

on the Black Sea bottom following the coastline (approximately 4.5 kilometers away from the coast) to the Kudepsta gas 

distribution station near Sochi. The 24 inches gas pipeline will have an annual throughput capacity of approx. 3.8 billion 

cubic meters. 

GSP, as contractor for the offshore works, installed the submarine pipelines (159.5 km), including welding, 

non-destructive testing, inspection, pipe transport, installation of five shore approaches, 

pipeline tie-ins, ROV operations, surveys, trenching and pipeline hydrotesting.

Client: TPAO, Turkey 

The Akcakoca site is located in a water depth of 95 metres, approximately 14 km from shore. The Akcakoca gas project 

included fabrication, transport, installation and hook-up of a 4-leg jacket over the two predrilled wells, AKC-3 and AKC-4, and 

drilling three new directional wells, using GSP’s self contained modular drilling rig GSP 31, which will also be used for 

completing 

and maintaining all wells. 

The four leg cross-braced jacket supports a two level trussed deck, also fabricated, installed and hooked-up by GSP. 

GSP Bigfoot 1 installed subsea pipelines of 12’’ and 7 kilometers and made tie-ins to the existing offshore pipeline system via 

a piggable wye connection, for transporting the produced gas from the Akcakoca platform to the Cayagzi gas processing plant 

located onshore near Akcakoca town. 

GSP carried out all fabrication, construction, installation, drilling and pipelay for the project.

Galata Project – Black Sea, Bulgaria 

Client: Melrose Resources, England 

In early 2009, Melrose Resources commenced a development program to convert the Galata field offshore Bulgaria 

to a gas storage facility. 

GSP was awarded the contract for engineering, procurement, fabrication, transportation, offshore installation and testing 

of the pipelines 8.5 km x 6” from Galata Platform to Wellhead Kavarna 2, and 14.5 km x 10” from Galata Platform to Wellhead 

Kaliakra 2, with associated piggyback liquid lines. 

Pipeline installation was performed by GSP Bigfoot 1 in water depths ranging from 36 to 80 meters.

Drilling Projects 

Since its establishment, Grup Servicii Petroliere has been a leader in offshore drilling 

operations. Projects carried out by GSP include: 

• Offshore exploration drilling campaign on the Bulgarian continental shelf between 

2004 and 2005, for Melrose Resources; 

• Offshore horizontal sidetracking and directional drilling in Salman and Esfandihar 

fields in the Persian Gulf between 2004 

and 2005 for PEDCO Iran; 

• Offshore drilling campaign on the Turkish continental shelf in 2006 for TPAO; 

• Vertical and directional exploration and production drilling, well completion, 

production tests with two MODUs 

in the Black Sea, GSP Jupiter and GSP Saturn, in various offshore fields between 

2006 and 2007 for Petrom; 

• Exploration drilling operations in Doina field, Black Sea, the well completion and the 

production tests at the beginning 

of 2008, for Midia Resources (a subsidiary of Sterling); 

• Onshore directional drilling campaign on the Mamu and Bustuchin locations, for the 

development of the natural gas reserve in 2008 and 2009 for Petrom; 

• Offshore drilling campaign started in 2011 with two MODUs, GSP Atlas and GSP 

Orizont in the Gulf of Mexico, in the Canterell perimeter. GSP was awarded a long 

term contract by Petroleos Mexicanos. 

• Offshore drilling campaign started in 2012 with MODU GSP Saturn in the North Sea, 

on the continental shelves of The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and United 

Kingdom. GSP was awarded the 12 months contract (with consecutive extension 

options for 2 x 12 months) by Wintershall Noordzee. 

GSP’s personnel was involved since 1976 in the offshore operations carried out by the 

Drilling and Special Geological Operations Enterprise (IFLSG) and Petrom’s Offshore 

Drilling Branch.

Drilling Projects 

GSP has been involved in the most important offshore drilling projects in the Black Sea area, on the continental shelves of 

Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey, rapidly growing into the regional leader of the offshore drilling industry. Simultaneously, the 

Company carried out extended operations on the Greek continental shelf in the Mediterranean as well as in the Persian Gulf. 

GSP has considered from the very beginning the drilling opportunities outside its home market, focusing on the Gulf of Mexico 

and the North Sea as strategic target markets. GSP is now a global offshore drilling contractor, operating worldwide. 

A few offshore fields where GSP was the drilling contractor for the production development: 

Black Sea: 

• Pescaruş, Lebada Vest and Lebăda Est, 

Sinoe, Delta, Orion for Petrom; 

• Doina for Midia Resources, Ayazli, 

Akkaya, Bayahauli for Toreador Resources; 

• Ayazli and Igneada for TPAO; 

• Cayagzi for Madison Oil; 

• Samontino and Galata for Melrose Resources; 

• Yury Shimanov for Petreco; 

• Kallirahi and Epsilon for Kavala Oil. 

Persian Gulf: 

• Saravan for Repsol YPF; 

• Salman, Esfandiar and Foroozan for PEDCO; 

• Reshadat and Hengam for IOOC; 

The offshore operations carried out in Midia, Neptun, Pelican 

perimeters on the Romanian continental shelf, and Shabla 

and Galata on the Bulgarian one were carried out before 

2004 by the actual GSP’s offshore drilling 

& engineering professional body.
