Shelf Drilling clinches three-year jackup deal with ONGC

Dubai-headquartered jackup rig operator Shelf Drilling has won a contract from Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) for the C.E. Thornton rig.

The jackup, built in 1974, will begin operations in the Mumbai High, off the coast of India, in the second quarter of 2023. The rig is currently employed by the same operator until December 2022, according to Shelf’s fleet status report.
