Singapore-listed Sembcorp Marine has won a near $600 million
contract with Noble Corp to build a jack-up rig for work in the UK North
Sea.
SembMarine’s Jurong Shipyard secured the $596 deal for
a newbuild ultra-high specification jack-up rig with an option for an
additional unit.
This followed Norwegian operator Statoil’s announcement last week that it had handed a $655 million contract to Noble for a multi-year drilling campaign at the Mariner oilfield off the UK.
In April, Upstream had identified Jurong Shipyard as one of the contenders for the newbuild construction job, as well as Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in South Korea.
The rig will be built to Statoil’s Category J specifications and based on the Gusto MSC CJ70 design. It will be capable of operating in harsh environments, in water depths of up to 150 metres and can drill down to 10,000 metres.
The rig is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2016.
Jurong Shipyard is also currently constructing six F&G JU3000N class jack-ups for Noble at a combined value of $1.3 billion.
