French Oil Company Total Awarded Contracts to Norwegian Shipping Company Solstad Farstad for Two of Its Vessels.

Solstad Farstad said on Wednesday that the contracts were awarded by Total’s South African entity for the provision of the large anchor handling vessel Normand Ranger (AHTS) and the platform supply vessel Far Starling (PSV). The two agreements are for supporting Total E&P South Africa’s drilling campaign in Block 11B/.

According to the company, the drilling campaign is expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2018. The duration of the contracts is approximately 90 days for the company, plus mobilization and demobilization time.

Lars Peder Solstad, the company’s CEO, said: “This is a very interesting project to get involved in, so we are very pleased to be chosen by Total to partner with them in this remote drilling campaign in a hostile environment”

As for the block, 11B/12B is located in the Outeniqua Basin, approximately 175 kilometers off the southern coast of South Africa. The block covers an area of approximately 18,734 square kilometers with water depths ranging from 200 meters in the north to 2,000 meters in the south.
