The contract, based on one of its existing contract options, will see Lamprell construct and deliver the ninth high-specification LeTourneau-designed, Super 116E (Enhanced) Class mobile offshore drilling unit for NDC.
The unit will be constructed at Lamprell’s facility in Hamriyah, UAE, with a planned delivery in 2Q 2017.
As previously announced, NDC has further options for Lamprell to build up to an additional two jackup rigs of the same design, which have been extended to 3Q 2015.
James Moffat, Chief Executive Officer, Lamprell, said: "With Lamprell now constructing a total of seven new rigs, we are establishing a reputation as a leading fabricator for major projects in the global energy market. Our focus will be on maintaining the highest standards of project execution and using our competitive position to convert our pipeline into contract wins.”
