While the world looks at forests, the UN warns that the Earth is also threatened by the silent degradation of natural grasslands and savannas, ecosystems that cover half of the planet, support billions of people, and can exacerbate water, food, and climate crises.
The driller also said that the Maersk Intrepid will be used for drilling and accommodation activities in the Martin Linge field, with possible re-deployment to other fields operated by Equinor at a later stage.
The Maersk Intrepid initially had an operational support contract for the Martin Linge license until April 2019. + See also: Aker Solutions Charters Maersk Vessel.
CCIO of Maersk Drilling, Morten Kelstrup, said: “We are proud to see the Maersk Intrepid have the opportunity to continue at Martin Linge and contribute to the expected start of production in the field in 2020. Equinor is a highly valued customer of Maersk Drilling, and it is great to be able to continue our long-standing cooperation with this renewed commitment.”
The Maersk Intrepid is an ultra-light XL Enhanced jack-up that was the largest jack-up in the world when it was launched in 2014. It has been deployed in Norwegian waters since then, with a track record that, in addition to Martin Linge, includes work in the Sleipner and Hanz fields.
