Rowan jackup gets 2-year commitment in Gulf of Mexico

Danny McNease, Rowan chairman and chief executive officer, commented, “On the heels of the record jackup dayrate recently awarded to our first 240C-class rig, the Rowan Mississippi, the historically well-to-well Gulf of Mexico market has provided Rowan with a second two-year commitment in a matter of weeks. We believe that this market will continue to recognize and reward contractors with premium equipment and experienced drilling personnel, and we look forward to additional opportunities.”
