Namibia: Shell extends contract for offshore drilling platform
Norwegian offshore drilling company Odfjell Drilling has, on behalf of Northern Ocean, agreed a contract extension for the Deepsea Bollsta drilling rig with Shell.
Northern Ocean, the owner of the drilling rig, has stated that the firm term of the contract has been extended from December 2023 for six months to June 2024, with an additional six-month option.
La prolongation à partir de décembre fournit un carnet de commandes d’environ 88,6 millions de dollars avec l’option de prolonger de six mois supplémentaires potentiellement 81 millions de dollars supplémentaires.
Northern Ocean's second platform, the Deepsea Mira, left Bergen, Norway, in early April 2023, and began mobilizing to the first well site in Namibia for its multi-country contract with TotalEnergies.
"The platform has experienced delays in loading equipment and carrying out required maintenance during transit, and we are now aiming for contract commencement at the end of the second quarter," said Northern Ocean.
La Namibie a été placée sur la carte mondiale de l’exploration pétrolière et gazière l’année dernière avec deux découvertes géantes de pétrole effectuées par TotalEnergies (Venus) et Shell (Graff). En mars 2023, Shell a également fait une découverte au puits d’exploration en eau profonde Jonker-1X dans le permis d’exploration PEL-39, au large de la Namibie.
