This is going to be an important area of focus in the years to come, and Saipem currently holds a five-year contract with ENI Norge for drilling and development of the Barents Sea 'Goliat' field. This is the world's northernmost oil field, managed by Norwegian companies. Saipem will be operating the drilling rig "Scarabeo 8" on behalf of ENI Norge. Scheduled to begin operations at the start of 2012, it is one of the largest rigs of its kind in the world and will offer clients state-of-the-art technical solutions. As severe climatic conditions are typical of these areas, the rig has been specially adapted to temperatures of down to minus 20 degrees Celsius. The use of new technologies and equipment will be crucial, in order to meet existing environmental challenges and to create safe and optimally comfortable working conditions for the rig crew.
