Offshore drilling contractor Noble Corporation has been awarded a contract for its jack-up rig Noble Regina Allen for operations offshore Trinidad.

Off­shore drilling con­trac­tor No­ble Cor­po­ra­tion has been award­ed a con­tract for its jack-up rig No­ble Regi­na Allen for op­er­a­tions off­shore Trinidad.

No­ble Cor­po­ra­tion's jack up drill rig No­ble Regi­na Allen is mak­ing its way to Trinidad to take up con­tract du­ty with BHP af­ter de­part­ing Hal­i­fax on Feb­ru­ary 21.

The rig was built in 2013, it can op­er­ate in 400ft of wa­ter and can drill to a depth of 35,000ft.

In its lat­est fleet sta­tus re­port, pub­lished on Thurs­day, No­ble said that the

2013-built jack-up No­ble Regi­na Allen had been award­ed a con­tract by BHP,

start­ing in Sep­tem­ber 2020 un­til Feb­ru­ary 2021. The day rate for the

con­tract is $120,000.

The rig’s cur­rent con­tract with Exxon­Mo­bil in Cana­da is set to ex­pire this

month. The day rate for this con­tract has been $94,000.

From mid-De­cem­ber 2019 un­til late Jan­u­ary 2020, the rig was in a ship­yard.

From ear­ly Feb­ru­ary un­til June 2020, the jack-up will be work­ing for En­cana,

al­so off­shore Cana­da.

In ear­ly Ju­ly 2020, the rig is sched­uled for a ship­yard stay. It will stay there

un­til late Au­gust 2020 for con­tract prepa­ra­tion and mo­bil­i­sa­tion to Trinidad.

Fur­ther­more, ac­cord­ing to the fleet sta­tus re­port, the 2011-built drill­ship

No­ble Bul­ly II is warm stacked in Malaysia. Ear­li­er in De­cem­ber,

No­ble com­plet­ed a trans­ac­tion with Shell re­lat­ing to the two joint ven­tures

in which No­ble and Shell each held a fifty per­cent in­ter­est.

In the trans­ac­tion, Shell bought out the re­main­ing term of its drilling

con­tract for the drill­ship No­ble Bul­ly II, and No­ble ac­quired Shell’s in­ter­ests

in the Bul­ly I and Bul­ly II joint ven­tures.
