Maersk Drilling has secured a contract from Dana Petroleum Netherlands B.V. to drill two development wells as part of Project Unity in the Dutch sector of the North Sea.
The harsh-environment jack-up rig to be used for the job is yet to be assigned.
The contract is expected to commence in Q2 2021, with an estimated duration of 121 days.
Prior to commencement of the Project Unity contract, the rig to be used will be equipped with a high-efficiency Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system which uses ammonia injection to convert NOx into harmless water and nitrogen, expectedly reducing NOx emissions by up to 98%.
The design will include an advanced control interface between engines and SCR units.
