Shelf Drilling 已与 Equinor 续签了其 Barsk 自升式钻井平台在挪威大陆架 Gudrun 油田作业的合同。延长的固定期限为两口井，预计总工期为254天。合同延期还包括古德伦三口井的选择权。

Shelf Drilling Barsk 钻机计划于 2024 年 5 月与 Equinor 在 Sleipner Vest 油田进行作业，初始范围为两口井，预计持续时间为 270 天，并可选择两口井。在延期的同时，Equinor 还在 Sleipner Vest 行使了第一个选择权，预计最短期限为 83 天。额外固定期的合同价值（不包括某些综合服务）约为 8100 万美元。

“我们很高兴通过这一重要的续约加强与 Equinor 的合作。我们认为这反映了 Equinor 对 Shelf Drilling 在 Sleipner Vest 和 Gudrun 上开发这些具有挑战性的油井的信心。我们仍有望于 2024 年 5 月开始签订合同，并完全致力于为 Equinor 提供安全高效的运营。”Shelf Drilling 首席执行官 David Mullen 说道。

Shelf Drilling has secured a contract extension for its Barsk jackup with Equinor for operations at the Gudrun field in the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The firm term of the extension is two wells with an estimated duration of 254 days in total. The contract extension also includes options for three wells at Gudrun.

The Shelf Drilling Barsk rig is scheduled for operations with Equinor at the Sleipner Vest field in May 2024 with an initial scope of two wells and an estimated duration of 270 days, with options for two wells. In conjunction with the extension, Equinor has also exercised the first option well at Sleipner Vest with an estimated minimum duration of 83 days. The contract value of the additional firm period, excluding certain integrated services, is approximately $81 million.

“We are pleased to strengthen our collaboration with Equinor with this important contract extension. We see this as a reflection of Equinor’s confidence in Shelf Drilling to deliver these challenging wells on both Sleipner Vest and Gudrun. We remain on track to commence our contract in May 2024 and are fully committed to providing safe and efficient operations to Equinor,” said David Mullen, CEO, Shelf Drilling.
