Heli Malongo is Chevron under their Angolan name in a partnership with Sonair.
They are basically taking the contract over to support their own rigs and platforms from PHI who have had it since 1967 or 1968. Like they do in the GOM, Chevron decided to take it in house.
It is also politically expedient in Angola to have a partnership with Sonangol in some form otherwise you can't do business long term.
They have new 427s and 430s I believe. You will live on a camp in Cabinda. 3 good meals per day and work and sleep. You can't leave the camp. not much to do when not working. You won't be able to have a drink (basically) while on your tour.
Some of the old PHI crews now work for Heli Malongo but can't comment on the management.
