The wells are to be drilled using the Maersk Interceptor mobile drilling facility. The facility was delivered by the Keppel Shipyard in Singapore in 2014. It is owned by Maersk AS and operated by Maersk Drilling Norge AS. Maersk Interceptor was issued with an Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) by the PSA in December 2014.
