Fossil Energy – Drilling
Valeura Energy has chartered a jack-up drilling rig owned by UAE-based Shelf Drilling for multi-year work in the Gulf of Thailand.
Valeura has an option on the start date and is currently planning to start drilling operations with the rig in Q4 2026, initially focused on delivering production acceleration projects.
Enterprise was built in 2007 and last upgraded in 2020. Formerly known as Maersk Completer, Shelf Drilling purchased the rig from Maersk in 2019 and renamed it in January 2020. It is of a Baker Marine Pacific 375 design and can accommodate 150 people.
The jack-up completed a campaign with PTTEP in Thailand in July 2025, after which it was deployed in Vietnam in early October for one firm well for an undisclosed client.
