KUALA LUMPUR: Velesto Energy Bhd has completed the upgrading works for its Naga 5 and Naga 6 rigs to make them the first in the country with offline capabilities.

The group said the offline capabilities on the two jack-up rigs will reduce the total time spent on wells as the rigs are able to do multiple scope of activities while drilling.
