TotalEnergies E&P Danmark has awarded Maersk Drilling a contract for well intervention services in the Danish North Sea.
Maersk will employ the high-efficiency jack-up rig Maersk Reacher to carry out the 21-month contract which is expected to commence in July 2022. The contract includes options to extend the duration by up to 27 additional months.
Maersk Reacher is a 350 ft, Gusto-engineered MSC CJ50 high-efficiency jack-up rig which was delivered in 2009. It is currently operating offshore Norway where it is scheduled to be replaced in a rig swap with Maersk Integrator end-February/early March 2022. Maersk Reacher will undergo a special periodic survey prior to commencing the contract with TotalEnergies.
Claus Bachmann, Head of North Sea Division in Maersk Drilling, commented, “We’re happy to build further on our long-standing collaboration with TotalEnergies by adding this long-term contract which means that two of our rigs will be working for TotalEnergies in Danish waters this year. Maersk Reacher will be available for the job after being released from its current work scope in Norway through the planned rig swap with Maersk Integrator.”
