LYNGBY, Denmark – Aker BP has contracted Maersk Drilling’s jackup Maersk Reacher for well intervention, stimulation, and accommodation services at the Valhall field in the southern Norwegian North Sea.
The 270-day, $33.4-million contract is due to start in July, with options to add up to 90 days of additional intervention work at the field.
The Maersk Reacher is contracted under a frame agreement both companies entered into in 2017.
It is currently warm-stacked in Frederikshavn, Denmark, after finishing a program offshore Norway last April. The rig will be reactivated with reduced drilling equipment and a focus on an optimized well intervention/stimulation set-up – including a smaller crew compared to standard drilling mode.
The 350-ft (107-m), Gusto-engineered MSC CJ50 rig was delivered in 2009.
