        海上钻井承包商Stena Drilling公司与能源巨头英国石油公司（BP）签订了一份续约合同，即在美国墨西哥湾部署安装移动式近海钻井平台（MODU）。

        2月7日，Stena Drilling公司透露其已经与英国石油公司签署“Stena IceMAX”号移动式近海钻井平台的续约合同。

        这份续约合同将该移动式近海钻井平台调动至美国墨西哥湾，直接继续在纽芬兰岛附近的初始单井项目，预计作业时长达九十天，以进一步达到为期两年的合同期限。

        2012年交付的“Stena IceMAX”号是一艘具备动态定位功能的双桅冰级钻井船，能够在水深达10,000英尺的地方完成钻井作业。 

        这艘能够适应恶劣环境的钻井船配备了三级船舶动力定位系统，并于2022年7月获得了英国石油公司的钻井项目合同以在加拿大近海作业。

        Stena Drilling公司近期的其他交易中值得一提的是，该公司于2月3日透露其与Ithaca Energy公司签订了“Stena Spey”钻井平台项目的合同。 

        该钻井平台将于2023年6月1日至2023年9月1日之间在英国大陆架开始作业。 

        今年早些时候，这家海上钻井承包商（Stena Drilling）还与与壳牌（Shell）子公司BG Delta有限公司与BG国际有限公司签订了“Stena Forth”号钻井船在埃及海上作业的合同。

Contract extension for Stena’s drillship

Offshore drilling contractor Stena Drilling has secured a contract extension with energy giant BP for a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) to be deployed in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Stena Drilling revealed on 7 February that it had signed a contract extension with BP for the Stena IceMAX MODU.

The extension shall see the MODU mobilize to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in direct continuation of the initial one-well program offshore Newfoundland, with an estimated duration of 90 days, for a further scope of two years.

Delivered in 2012, Stena IceMAX is a dynamically positioned, dual mast ice-class drillship, which is capable of drilling in water depths up to 10, 000ft. 

This harsh environment DP Class 3 drillship secured a drilling contract with BP in July 2022 for operations offshore Canada.

When it comes to Stena Drilling’s other recent deals, it is worth mentioning that the company revealed on 3 February that a contract had been signed with Ithaca Energy for the Stena Spey drilling rig. 

The operations for the rig on the UKCS are due to start between 1 June 2023 and 1 September 2023. 

Earlier this year, the offshore drilling contractor also won a contractwith Shell’s subsidiaries BG Delta Limited and BG International Limited for operations offshore Egypt for the Stena Forth drillship.
