In addition, Maersk Drilling has entered into an extension of the contract with Petrogas E&P Netherlands for the jack-up Maersk Resolute. The extension covers plug and abandonment work at the Q1 Halfweg platform and brings the contract from 95 days up to a total of 140 days. The total duration of the two extensions is up to 150 days.

The initial, two-well contract for this rig was awarded by Petrogas in January and the rig headed to its offshore location in early June.

“The North Sea is a key market for us, and we remain committed to offering a safe and efficient operation to both Wintershall and Petrogas,” says Lars Østergaard.
