Petronas awards Noble Suriname well contract
Noble release
PETRONAS Suriname E&P B.V. has awarded Noble a one-well contract for the semisubmersible deepwater rig #NobleDiscoverer to drill an exploration well in Block 52 offshore #Suriname.
The contract is expected to commence in August 2023, with an estimated duration of 90 days. The firm contract value is approximately $43 million, including additional services provided, mobilization and demobilization fees. The contract contains a one-well option.
“We are incredibly pleased to announce this contract building on the recent collaboration with PETRONAS. This near-term program positions the Noble Discoverer in the same block offshore Suriname where sister rig Noble Developer previously operated for PETRONAS. It also represents an opportunity to demonstrate Noble’s vast experience in this prolific basin prior to commencing the rig’s announced contract in Colombia later this year,” says Blake Denton, SVP of Marketing & Contracts.
The Noble Discoverer is currently operating offshore Guyana for CGX Resources Inc. Following the contract with PETRONAS, the rig is scheduled to commence a contract offshore Colombia with Ecopetrol.
