Drilling has taken delivery of its first ultra harsh environment jack-up,
Maersk Intrepid, from the Keppel FELS shipyard in Singapore on time.
Maersk Intrepid will start its mobilisation to the Norwegian North Sea in
approximately two weeks, where it will commence a four year contract with
Total E&P Norge AS.
Maersk Intrepid is the
first in a series of four newbuild ultra harsh environment jack-up rigs to
enter Maersk Drilling’s rig fleet in 2014-16. The four jack-up rigs
represent a total investment of USD 2.6bn. The first three jack-up rigs,
including Maersk Intrepid, will be delivered from the Keppel FELS shipyard
in 2014-2015, and the fourth will be delivered from the Daewoo
Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) shipyard in South Korea in
2016.
The Maersk Intrepid will be drilling the demanding and
complex wells on the Martin Linge field development in the Norwegian North
Sea. The contract includes four one-year options. The estimated contract
value for the firm contract is USD 550 million.
Maersk Drilling
takes delivery of second drillship
March 16, 2014 + + + Maersk
Drilling’s second drillship, Maersk Valiant, was delivered Wednesday 16
April 2014 from the Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) shipyard in Geoje-Si,
South-Korea. Maersk Valiant has begun its voyage towards the US Gulf of
Mexico via Singapore to commence a three year contract with ConocoPhillips
(NYSE: COP) and Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO).
Maersk
Valiant is the second in a series of four ultra deepwater drillships to
enter Maersk Drilling’s fleet. The four drillships represent a total
investment of USD 2.6bn and will be delivered from the SHI shipyard in
2014.
Maersk Drilling has been active in the US Gulf of Mexico
since 2009 with the ultra deepwater semi-submersible Maersk Developer.
With Maersk Viking and Maersk Valiant entering the US Gulf of Mexico,
Maersk Drilling is becoming a significant drilling contractor in the US
Gulf of Mexico, which together with West Africa, are the target regions
for Maersk Drilling’s deepwater activities. The estimated contract value
with ConocoPhillips and Marathon Oil Corporation for Maersk Valiant is USD
694m including mobilisation, but excluding cost escalation.
