Maersk Drilling lands one-well extension for Maersk Resolute

Petrogas has exercised an option with Maersk Drilling to extend the current contract of jackup rig Maersk Resolute. The contract extension is for one well, A15 on the Dutch continental shelf, with an expected duration of 21 days. The exercised option extends Maersk Resolute’s confirmed work scope into March 2019.

The high-efficiency jackup Maersk Resolute, which was launched in 2008, restarted operations in the Dutch sector in June 2018, after it was originally reactivated from warm-stacking and worked in the sector from June to December 2017. The Maersk Resolute jackup is currently on a rig-share contract between Petrogas, TAQA Energy and Dana Petroleum. There are now two remaining options in the contract – one with TAQA Energy of approximately 72 days, and one with Petrogas of approximately 90 days.
