这些合同的总期限为 23 个月，价值约 2.9 亿美元，不包括综合服务、升级/修改或动员费。合同还包括绩效奖金和燃油奖励的条款。

除了固定合同期外，还有四种单井定价选项以及另外三个可选期，每个期约为一年，每个期的费率需在实施前双方商定。

这项工作将在大西洋深海特别定期调查完成后立即开始，目前计划于 2024 年上半年进行。

目前，Deepsea Atlantic 已签订了到 2026 年中期的确定合同，并可选择延长到 2029 年。

除了这两份合同外，Odfjell Drilling 和 Equinor 还签订了战略合作协议，重点关注具有共同战略重要性的事项。该协议重点关注安全、钻井效率和降低排放，将为这些关键问题上的共同努力和长期合作提供框架。

Odfjell Drilling AS 首席执行官 Kjetil Gjersdal 评论道：“我们很高兴确认 Deepsea Atlantic 将根据新合同继续与 Equinor 合作，该钻机可能会持续运营到 2029 年，从而带来强劲、可预测的现金产生从单位。

“多年来与 Equinor 合作开发了许多项目，我们很高兴签署了战略合作协议，以进一步发展我们的综合能力，以实现安全高效的运营。不断开发我们的工作流程和技术是 Odfjell Drilling 的重点，我们期待看到这一举措的成果。”

The contracts have a combined firm duration of 23 months and a value of approximately US$290 million excluding integrated services, upgrades/modifications or mobilisation fees. The contracts also include provisions for performance bonuses and fuel incentives.

In addition to the firm contract periods, there are four priced one well options as well as three further optional periods of approximately one-year each, with the rates for each period to be mutually agreed prior to exercising.

The work will begin immediately following completion of the Special Periodic Survey for the Deepsea Atlantic, which is currently planned during the first half of 2024.

The Deepsea Atlantic is now signed up to firm contracts until mid-2026, with options which extend to 2029.

Together with the two contracts, Odfjell Drilling and Equinor have also entered into a strategic collaboration agreement to focus on matters of mutual strategic importance. With a focus on safety, drilling efficiency and lower emissions this agreement shall provide the framework for a joint effort and longer-term collaboration on these key matters.

Kjetil Gjersdal, Chief Executive Officer of Odfjell Drilling AS commented: “We are pleased to confirm that the Deepsea Atlantic will continue to work with Equinor under the new contract which could see the rig in continuous operation until 2029, delivering strong, predictable cash generation from the unit.

“Having worked with Equinor on many project developments through the years, we are pleased to have signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement to further develop our combined capabilities to deliver safe and efficient operations. Continuous development of our workflows and technologies is a key focus for Odfjell Drilling and we look forward to seeing the results of this initiative.”
