The Spanish Oil Company Repsol Hired a Maersk Drilling Drillship for Offshore Drilling in Mexico.
Maersk Drilling said on Tuesday that Repsol’s Mexican subsidiary, Repsol Exploración México, contracted its drillship Maersk Valiant for a two-well project. Repsol will deploy the 7th generation drillship delivered in 2013 in offshore blocks 10 and 29 in the Gulf of Mexico.
“The contracts have a planned duration of 138 days and are expected to start in March 2020. In addition to firm work, the contracts include two options for one well”, said Maersk Drilling.

Morten Kelstrup, Chief Commercial and Innovation Officer of Maersk Drilling: “We are very pleased to expand our working relationship with Repsol through this commitment, which also enhances our presence in the exciting Mexican deepwater market following the recent contract announced by the Mærsk Developer.”
