The jack up returned to the UK North Sea to conduct drilling operations managed by Petrofac.

The 400-ft jack up arrived at the Port of Dundee in January 2023 and conducted its five-year special periodic survey (SPS) while there. Under a contract awarded in January, the rig will drill the Earn-1 exploration well for Dana Petroleum.

The contract has an estimated duration of 70-100 days. After that, the rig is scheduled to begin its 210-day contract with Shell, also in the UK North Sea.
