Maersk Drilling has won a contract for its Maersk Resolve jack-up.
The contract – which will cover one well – will have a duration of about 86 days, with further options included.
Maersk Drilling vice president Michael Reimer Mortensen said: “With the new contract secured for Maersk Resolve, we are strengthening our presence in the North Sea even further. This is a key market for us, and we look forward to working closely together with Wintershall Noordzee to deliver a safe and efficient drilling operation.”
“Maersk Resolve will be the fourth rig that Maersk Drilling brings back into operation following a period of warm-stacking, and it is gratifying to see that we are able to safely and efficiently execute the start-up phases, in close dialogue with our customers.”
The work covers the drilling and potential testing of the Winchelsea II well offshore the UK, and the contract is expected to start late this month.
The company’s fleet includes 24 drilling rigs, and it employs 3,200 people globally.
