奥德菲尔钻井公司（Odfjell Drilling）与一位未公开身份的客户签署了一份意向书（LOI），计划部署其适用于恶劣环境的半潜式钻井平台“深海阿伯丁号”（Deepsea Aberdeen）。新的作业将于2026年底开始，直接延续该钻井平台现有的合同。通过此次合作，奥德菲尔钻井公司将“深海阿伯丁号”的确定订单期限延长至2029年第二季度。

该公司指出，这项新的承诺将确保“深海阿伯丁”号的长期运营可视性，并支持整个船队的人员配备、维护和海上后勤保障的持续规划。各项准备工作将与现有合同进度保持一致，以确保顺利过渡到扩展的工作范围。

Odfjell Drilling signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with an undisclosed client for the deployment of its harsh-environment semisubmersible rig Deepsea Aberdeen. The new campaign will begin in late 2026 in direct continuation of the rig’s existing contract. In doing so, Odfjell Drilling extends the Deepsea Aberdeen’s firm backlog through to the second quarter of 2029.

The company noted that the new commitment maintains long-term operational visibility for the Deepsea Aberdeen and supports ongoing planning for personnel, maintenance and offshore logistics across the fleet. Preparations will be aligned with the existing contract schedule to ensure a smooth transition into the extended work scope.
