據鉆機地帶3月30日消息，馬士基鉆井公司周一報道，Aker BP已與其簽訂了一份合同，將在極端惡劣環境下建造Maersk Reacher自升式鉆井平臺。

據該鉆井承包商介紹，該鉆井平臺將協助挪威近海的瓦爾霍爾油田的修井、增產以及人員安置工作。馬士基鉆井公司在發給Rigzone的一份書面聲明中指出，該合同預計于2021年7月開始生效，合同期限為270天，包括瓦爾霍爾油田修井作業90天的選項。

馬士基鉆井首席運營官Morten Kelstrup表示:“我們很高興獲得這份合同，Maersk Reacher將回到瓦爾霍爾，在那里，此前它曾作為一個營地鉆機服役。這項新合同將幫助進行修井、增產和人員安置工作，無法利用鉆機的全部鉆井能力，但我們有信心，我們可以借鑒我們在Aker BP自升式鉆井平臺上的經驗，并努力提供更多的服務。在這種情況下也可以提高效率。”

馬士基鉆井指出，新合同屬于與Aker BP簽訂的2017年框架協議。該鉆井承包商表示，重新啟用的鉆機將使用更少的鉆井設備，更多地專注于修井和增產措施的安裝，包括與標準鉆井模式相比，人員數量將減少。

Aker BP鉆井和油井高級副總裁Tommy Sigmundstad表示:“這是我們供應商生態系統如何實現跨聯盟協作的有力例證。我們將發揮修井增產聯盟和自升式平臺聯盟的優勢，共同將修井作業的效率提高到一個新的水平。”

馬士基鉆井公司表示，該合同價值約為3340萬美元。該公司補充稱，該鉆井平臺目前正擱置在丹麥腓特烈港，其于2020年4月在挪威海上完成了最新的合同。

Aker BP Contracts Maersk Drilling Rig

Aker BP (OTCMKTS: DETNF) has awarded Maersk Drilling (CPH: DRLCO) a contract for the ultra-harsh environment jack-up rig Maersk Reacher, Maersk reported Monday.

According to the drilling contractor, the rig will assist with well intervention, stimulation, and accommodation at the Valhall field offshore Norway. Projected to commence in July 2021, the contract includes a firm 270-day duration and contains options to add up to 90 days of intervention work at Valhall, Maersk Drilling noted in a written statement emailed to Rigzone.

“We’re delighted to get this contract which will see Maersk Reacher return to Valhall where it was last in service as an accommodation rig,” commented Maersk Drilling Chief Operating Officer Morten Kelstrup. “This new contract to assist with well intervention, stimulation, and accommodation will not utilize the full drilling capabilities of the rig, but we’re confident that we can build on our experience with the Aker BP Jack-up Alliance and work to deliver increased efficiency also in this context.”

Maersk Drilling noted the new contract falls under a 2017 frame agreement with Aker BP. The reactivated rig will use less drilling equipment and focus more heavily on the well intervention and stimulation set-up, including a reduced crew level compared to standard drilling mode, the drilling contractor stated.

“This is a strong example of how our supplier ecosystem enables cross-alliances collaboration,” remarked Tommy Sigmundstad, Aker BP’s senior vice president for drilling and wells. “We will play to the strengths of the Intervention and Stimulation Alliance and the Jack-up Alliance to jointly bring well well interventions’ efficiency to the next level.”

The firm contract value is approximately US$33.4 million, Maersk Drilling stated. The company added the rig is warm-stacked in Frederikshavn, Denmark, having completed its most recent contract offshore Norway in April 2020.
