The rig will perform drilling services off Cameroon for 150 days.

Ihab Toma, chief executive officer of Vantage Drilling International, commented, “We are very pleased to announce this contract with New Age for the Topaz Driller in Cameroon. This contract will enable us to have two of our premium jack-up rigs operating in West Africa after we mobilize the Topaz Driller from Asia to Cameroon.

We look forward to commencing work for our esteemed client.”  

The rig is currently stacked, having been operating offshore Thailand most recently.
