Nationalization, efficiency go hand in hand for West Jupiter in Nigeria

Seadrill’s West Jupiter had a crew that was 49% Nigerian nationals when the drillship started its contract with Total more than three years ago. Since then, the rig has continued to advance its nationalization efforts and now boasts a crew that is 71% Nigerian nationals and 29% expats. At the same time, the rig’s high level of performance has saved nearly 400 days against AFE, said Benjamin Schumacher, Operations Director for Seadrill. Watch DC’s video with Mr Schumacher from the 2018 IADC Drilling Africa Conference on 21 February in Lisbon to find out more about how the drilling contractor balanced its commitment to local content and a performance focus.
