Fossil Energy – Drilling Namibia
Offshore drilling rig owner Northern Ocean said Wednesday that its Deepsea Mira semi-submersible drilling rig had kicked off its drilling contract with TotalEnergies in Namibia, where the French oil major last year made a giant oil discovery with its Venus-1x well.
The drilling rig is owned by Northern Ocean and managed by the Norwegian drilling firm Odfjell Drilling.
The contract with TotalEnergies has a firm duration of 300 days. TotalEnergies has two extension options, which, if exercised, would keep the 2019-built rig busy through all of 2024.
