The Offshore Driller Noble Corporation Received Contracts for Two of Its Idle Drillships

According to the latest fleet status report from Noble, issued on Thursday, the drilling vessel Noble Don Taylor, built in 2013, received a contract from Talos in the Gulf of Mexico. The agreement with Talos starts in early November 2018 and ends in mid-January 2019.

The amount was not disclosed, but Noble said that the rig will charge a daily rate during the defined contract period, in addition to the idle rate of $420,000 according to Shell’s decision in September to suspend the contract or 183 days, ending on February 25, 2019.

In Europe, the drilling vessel Noble Globetrotter II, built in 2013, secured a contract with French Total for offshore operations in Bulgaria. The contract begins in early November 2018 and ends in early January 2019 with an undisclosed day.

This is not the first show for Noble Globetrotter II for Total in Bulgaria, as the drillship also drilled in the Black Sea for Total in late 2017. After that, it was heated in Bulgaria in January 2018. The rig will collect a daily rate during the defined contract period, in addition to the idle rate of US $185,000 to be paid by Shell until December 2018. + See Also: Petrobras Signs Exploration Agreement in the Gulf of Mexico+

To remember, Shell exercised in December 2016 the right to deactivate Noble Globetrotter II, which was operating on a 10-year term, for a period of up to 730 days starting in January 2017. Shell agreed to pay the rate of US $185,000 per day during that idle period.
