    LYNGBY, Denmark – Aker BP has contracted the ultra-harsh environment jackup rig Maersk Invincible to drill three infill wells at the Ivar Aasen field in the Norwegian North Sea.

    The 86-day program should start in September or October, with a value to Maersk Drilling of around $22.4 million, excluding integrated services and potential performance bonuses.

    Maersk Invincible is contracted under a frame agreement the two companies entered into in 2017 when the Aker BP Jack-up Alliance (also including Halliburton) was created.
