SDRL - Seadrill secures long-term contracts for two jack-up rigs
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Hamilton, Bermuda, August 9, 2011 - Seadrill has been awarded two new contracts
by KJO (AL-Khafji Joint Operations) in the joint development zone between the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait for the jack-up rigs West Triton and Offshore
Resolute. The assignments which will commence in direct continuation of their
current contracts in Southeast Asia are each for a firm period of 3 years plus
the time required to mobilize to the Arabian Gulf. Each contract also includes
an option for KJO to extend the term for a further 1 year.
Alf C. Thorkildsen, Chief Executive Officer in Seadrill Management AS says,
"These new contracts will strengthen the relationship with KJO, one of the key
customers in the Arabian Gulf. In addition, relocating two rigs for term work
and at attractive market rates serves our strategic desire to increase our long
term presence in this active oil and gas region."
