Brunei Shell Petroleum awarded Maersk Drilling a four-year contract for the jackup rig Maersk Completer for operations offshore Brunei. The contract will commence in December 201, in direct continuation of its current contract with Brunei Shell Petroleum. The contract has options for extension up to a total of three years.
“We are very pleased to continue our cooperation with Brunei Shell Petroleum in Brunei,” Claus V. Hemmingsen, CEO of Maersk Drilling said. “We see this contract as a recognition of our solid drilling performance and as a further strengthening of our relationship with Brunei Shell Petroleum.”
While operating for Brunei Shell Petroleum, Maersk Completer has shown an excellent performance record, recognized by the award as Shell Jack Up of the Year in 2012 and 2013.
Maersk Completer is one of two Baker Marine 375ft jack-up rigs in Maersk Drilling’s fleet. Maersk Completer has been operating in Brunei since it was delivered from Jurong Shipyard in 2007, and since November 2008, Maersk Completer has been operating for Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP).
