Aker BP keeps Maersk rig for Norway wildcat well
LYNGBY, Denmark – Aker BP has contracted Maersk Drilling’s low-emission jackup Maersk Integrator for an exploration well offshore Norway.
The assignment will be in direct continuation of the rig’s
previously announced work scope, a two-well program on the Ivar Aasen field in
the North Sea. The exploration well, likely to spud in December, should take 36
days to complete.
Firm value of the contract is around $9.6 million, excluding
integrated services and potential performance bonuses, and there is an option for
additional work.
The Maersk Integrator is contracted under a frame agreement
between the two companies as part of the Aker BP Jack-up Alliance, which also
includes Halliburton.
This determines contracts based on market-rate terms with
incentive arrangements, based on delivery and performance.
The ultra-harsh environment jackup was recently converted to
a hybrid, low-emission rig.
