PETALING JAYA: Velesto Energy Bhd has terminated the sale of its jack-up drilling rig, Velesto Naga 3, to PT Indonesia Drilling Energy after the proposed disposal failed to complete by the agreed deadline.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Velesto said the sale and purchase agreement (SPA), dated Dec 14, 2025, was terminated with effect from July 7, 2026, following the issuance of a notice of termination to the buyer on June 30.
