This is the third well of the SPD-managed, multi-client 2011 drilling program, and has an estimated contract value of around $7.3 million.
MPX’s two wells should start in direct continuation of the rig’s current well for Nautical Petroleum on the Kraken field in the northern North Sea.
WilHunter is one of Awilco’s two Enhanced Pacesetter semis, capable of drilling in water depths up to 1,500 ft (457 m).
