Maersk Drilling has been awarded a one-well contract by Wintershall for jackup rig Maersk Resolve .
The work scope covers drilling and potential testing of the Winchelsea II well offshore UK, and is expected to take around 86-days commencing late June. Further options are also available to Wintershall.
Michael Reimer Mortensen, head of global sales at Maersk Drilling, commented: “With the new contract secured for Maersk Resolve, we are strengthening our presence in the North Sea even further. This is a key market for us, and we look forward to working closely together with Wintershall Noordzee to deliver a safe and efficient drilling operation.”
The Maersk Resolve has been warm-stacked in Esbjerg Harbour, Denmark and is now preparing for the project.
