Shelf Drilling与雪佛龙合作在泰国湾开展业务

据1月14日Offshore Energy报道，总部位于迪拜的海上钻井承包商Shelf Drilling已与雪佛龙签订了一份合同，为其最近收购的高规格自升式钻井平台在泰国湾的作业提供服务。

去年12月，Shelf Drilling与马士基钻井公司(Maersk Drilling)达成协议，以3800万美元现金购买了马士基钻井公司的钻井平台。该自升式钻井平台的购买和验收工作于今年1月上旬完成，之后Shelf更名为rig-Shelf钻井公司。

周二Shelf表示，新合同预计将于2020年8月开始，一直持续到2022年4月，并有延期的选择。期间的合同价值，包括动员收入，为5900万美元。包括购买价格，之后的重启激活和合同特定的升级在内，钻机的全部交付成本估计为8100万美元。

Shelf Drilling最初计划通过利用循环信贷工具和现有现金为其收购和部署提供资金，并期望有机会获得长期债务融资，以补充流动资金。

该公司首席执行官戴维•穆伦(David Mullen)表示:“我们很高兴能进一步加强与雪佛龙的合作，并在泰国湾开展业务。”
