Maersk Drilling awarded new contract for Maersk Intrepid

Norway's Equinor has exercised two options extending the current contract for the jack-up rig Maersk Intrepid by two months until June 2019.

Further, Maersk Drilling and Equinor have signed a new five-month contract for Maersk Intrepid, which will commence in direct continuation of the current extended contract. The new contract adds an additional four options of two months each.

Maersk Intrepid will be utilised for both drilling and accommodation activities at the Martin Linge field, with possible re-deployment to other Equinor-operated fields at a later stage.
