Jurong Shipyard, Singapore, has secured a second SeaDragon rig order from Oban B to complete and deliver a Moss Maritime dynamically positioned (DP-3) semi-submersible drilling unit.
The six-column bare deck hull, built in a Russian yard, arrived at Jurong Shipyard in early June. Following arrival, Jurong will now proceed with the construction, outfitting, furnishing, equipping, testing and completion of the bare-deck hull into an ultra-deepwater semi-submersible drilling rig.
The second unit is scheduled for delivery by end June 2011. The shipyard's contract value for the second unit is US$237.3 million, excluding equipment supplied by the owner.
This new rig will be built for a water depth rating of 3,048 metres and maximum drilling depth of 9,144 metres. The rig will have the multi-region flexibility to operate worldwide.
