The second contract is between Keppel FELS and Diamond Offshore for the upgrade of the semi-submersible drilling rig Ocean Onyx. Diamond Offshore and Keppel FELS have collaborated on more than 12 projects since 2005.

The scope of work for Keppel FELS on the semi-submersible platform includes engineering, manufacturing, and installation of new pontoons, columns, braces, and a wing deck. The Ocean Onyx was first upgraded in 2012 by Keppel AmFELS, Keppel O & M’s yard in the U.S., from an older semi-submersible platform.

Scheduled for delivery in Q2 2019, the Ocean Onyx will initially be deployed offshore Australia. As previously reported, the Ocean Onyx was contracted by Beach Energy for drilling in the Otway Basin off the coast of Victoria. The first well to be drilled in Beach’s Otway program will be the Artisan gas exploration well, located in licence VIC / P43.

Karl Sellers, Senior Vice President – Technical Services at Diamond Offshore said: “Keppel FELS has proven to be a reliable partner for our equipment repairs and upgrades over the years, and we are pleased to work with them again on the upgrade of the Ocean Onyx.”
