We look forward to demonstrating our capabilities for JX Nippon and its partners in the UK.” says Mr Simen Lieungh, CEO of Odfjell Drilling.
Contract duration is estimated to be between 60 and 75 days and expected commencement is Q2 2016.
Deepsea Stavanger finalised its contract with BP in Angola in November 2015 and has thereafter completed its five year special periodic survey. The rig is now underway to Norway before mobilising to UK waters for start-up on the JX Nippon contract. Deepsea Stavanger has a contract with Wintershall on the Maria field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf starting early 2017.
