SDRL - Seadrill dispose of the jack-up rig West Larissa
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Hamilton, Bermuda, October 14, 2010 - Seadrill has entered into an agreement to
sell the 1984 built jack-up drilling rig West Larissa to a buyer registered in
Panama for a total consideration of US$55 million.
Seadrill expects to record a gain on sale of approximately US$26 million in the
fourth quarter 2010. Closing of the agreement and transfer of ownership of the
unit is scheduled to October/November 2010.
West Larissa is presently working on an assignment for VSP offshore Vietnam.
West Larissa will be released from the contract with VSP late October 2010, and
Seadrill's 2007 built jack-up West Prospero will simultaneously take over the
remaining part of this contract until completion by the end 2011.
Alf C Thorkildsen, CEO of Seadrill Management AS says in a comment: "The
disposal of West Larissa is in line with our strategy focusing our company on
modern, premium offshore drilling units."
