Blake International Rigs signed a contract to mobilize the Blake Rig 651 to Energy XXI’s South Pass 77 C platform.
The initial contract term is for one well, which is scheduled to start in late April following a 30-day make ready period at Blake’s Houma facility.
This initial term should keep the rig under contract into June 2017, and Energy XXI retains the right to any option wells. The Blake Rig 651 recently completed a 14 well P&A program with a major oil company in the US Gulf of Mexico, says Blake International.
The Blake Rig 651 is a 650 horsepower self-erecting modular platform rig. Blake International Rigs owns and operates a fleet of 10 platform rigs in the US and Mexico.
