The announcement follows on from news earlier in the summer that the Well-Safe Protector will plug and abandon six wells on the Anglia platform in the Southern North Sea for Ithaca Energy, mobilising in autumn 2022.
The 1992-built rig will mobilise for the Neptune contract during the first quarter of 2023 in direct continuation of the Ithaca decommissioning project.
