Mr. Yuan Guangyu, Vice Chairman, CEO and President of COSL, said: Despite the steep challenge posed by the project in Lybia, COSL has been able to leverage fully its advantages in technical expertise and management know-how and demonstrated relenting dedication to overcome difficulties during the course of prospecting market potential, contract terms negotiation, drilling rig construction and transportation, pre-drilling preparation and organizing team staff, ultimately commenced the first drilling operation on the onshore oilfield in Lybia using the first rig introduced to there.

At the moment the second rig is now on delivery and the remaining rigs will soon see their construction completed.
