TSC Group Holdings Limited (“TSC”) is very pleased to announce that its new span-offs and NEEQ listed company TSC Oil and Gas Services Group Holdings Ltd. (“TSC OGS”) has recently secured the first batch MRO service contracts for the refurbishment and automation of 2000HP Land rigs owned by Pemex Perforación y Servicios (“PPS”), a subsidiary of the Mexican national oil company ("PEMEX") with a contract value of US$11.2 Million. TSC would provide PPS with PCR, drawworks retrofit and upgrading services as well as supplying mud pumps, hydraulic power units and top drive products. And TSC will work closely with its partner Andrew Technologies, Inc. (“ATI”) to accelerate contract execution and further deeper cooperation. 

This is a convincing proof for TSC to win customer’s recognitions in the backdrop of the “severe winter”. With the global oil prices plummeted in mid-2014, PEMEX carried out strategic reorganization to reduce capital expenditure. TSC and ATI witnessed customer’s needs in its cost reduction strategy while maintaining high efficient rig fleet and have been working closely with PEMEX/PPS to provide flexible and high performance services and cost effective supports to meet their cost strategies. The successful cooperation will greatly leverage resources and confidence in the future development of the potential market in Mexico.

The contract is also an important breakthrough in TSC’s development to readjust and improve its competitiveness with re-focusing on several key markets, which has achieved significant results. Moreover, this is also a significant milestone for TSC in its long-term business development in North and Central America. As the project unfolds, TSC is confident with its expansion plans in North and Central America to achieve significant growth and progress.
