據離岸工程網站9月2日消息 海上鉆井承包商Dolphin鉆井公司在墨西哥與墨西哥國家石油公司簽訂了鉆井平臺合同。

Dolphin鉆井公司周二表示，合同是Blackford Dolphin半潛式鉆井平臺。該合同預計將持續15個月，價值8300萬美元，這意味著日費率略高于18萬美元。

1974年在挪威建造的Blackford Dolphin目前正在為10月開始運營前從北海到墨西哥的作業做準備。

Dolphin鉆井公司首席執行官比爾納爾?艾弗森表示：“我們快速調動資產的能力以及出色的運營和安全表現是我們贏得合同的關鍵。Blackford Dolphin是市場上最高效的系泊半潛式平臺之一，由于其低油耗和高鉆井性能，可減少與鉆井相關的二氧化碳排放。”

“我們與墨西哥國家石油公司的聯盟證明了我們如何為世界各地的運營商增加價值，我期待著我們在未來幾年繼續我們的全球增長，并將墨西哥視為我們系泊半潛式平臺的重要戰略市場。”

Dolphin Drilling Nets Offshore Drilling Work in Mexico

Offshore drilling contractor Dolphin Drilling has won a drilling rig contract in Mexico with the country's national oil company Pemex.

Dolphin Drilling said Tuesday the contract was for the Blackford Dolphin semi-submersible drilling rig. The value of the contract, expected to last 15 months, is $83 million, meaning the dayrate is slightly above $180,000.

The Blackford Dolphin, built in Norway in 1974 is currently being prepared for the journey from the North Sea to Mexico ahead of the start of operations in October.

Bj?rnar Iversen, CEO of Dolphin Drilling, said: “Our ability to mobilize the asset quickly and our excellent operational and safety performance were key to us winning the contract. Blackford Dolphin is one of the most efficient moored semisubmersibles on the market, providing a reduction of the CO2 emissions associated with drilling due to its low fuel consumption and high drilling performance.

“Our alliance with PEMEX demonstrates how we can add value to operators located anywhere in the world, and I am looking forward to us continuing our global growth in the years to come, and see Mexico as a strategically important market for our moored semi-submersibles.”
