Maersk Drilling has landed a US $3.8m one-well contract for the semi-submersible rig Maersk Discoverer offshore Egypt. The contract which is expected to commence in March 2020, in direct continuation of the rig’s current contract; has an estimated duration of 21 days.
According to Maersk’s Chief Operating Officer Morten Kelstrup, the company is very pleased to add this additional well which firms up Maersk Discoverer’s schedule for 2020. “This means that the rig will have no idle time before moving to the Caribbean later this year,” he said.
Maersk Discoverer
Maersk Discoverer is a DSS-21 column-stabilised dynamically positioned semi-submersible drilling rig which was delivered in 2009. It is currently operating offshore Egypt. Following the completion of the additional Egyptian well, Maersk Discoverer will perform its scheduled Special Periodic Survey, after which the rig will move to Trinidad and Tobago.
