Drilling in OPEC-member Algeria will start in June this year. The contract, with fully-owned subsidiary Dalma Energy, is Aabar's first in Africa.
The first year of the contract is worth just over $23 million, with an option for a six-month extension worth just under $12 million, Aabar said.

Drilling operations will commence with the deployment of two deep drilling land rigs.

"This contract with Repsol YPF marks the expansion of our operations into Africa, a region that holds out excellent potential for growth," said Sohail Al Mazrui, Chairman of Aabar, in a statement.

Aabar also has operations in Thailand and Indonesia.
