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+
