Dolphin Drilling taps Vantris to market Blackford Dolphin

Dolphin Drilling and Vantris Energy entered into a marketing agreement to jointly promote the Blackford Dolphin semisubmersible across Asian markets.

Under the terms of the agreement, Vantris will act as a commercial agent for the Blackford Dolphin in Southeast Asia, supporting contract procurement, client engagement and market positioning for the rig. Dolphin Drilling will retain operational and technical authority, with Vantris responsible for business development efforts within its targeted geographies.

Dolphin Drilling said the collaboration does not alter any existing commercial contracts for the rig and that the Blackford Dolphin remains available for new contracts in multiple global markets.
