Keppel FELS, a unit of Keppel Offshore & Marine, Thursday said it has secured contracts from Mexican drilling company, Grupo R, to build four jackup rigs worth US$820 million (S$1 billion).
The jackup rigs are scheduled for delivery progressively from the second quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2015.

The rigs, to be built to Keppel's proprietary KFELS B Class design, will be able to operate in water depths of up to 400 feet and drill to depths of 30,000 feet.

When completed, Keppel FELS will have built ten KFELS B Class jackup rigs for Mexican customers since 2012, including two for the Mexican national oil company PEMEX.
