Valaris公司获得了西非近海五口井的钻井合同，钻井船编号为VALARIS DS-15。该合同预计将于2026年第三季度开始实施。合同总价值约为1.35亿美元，预计工期为250天，包含最多五口井的定价选择权，预计总工期为80至100天。

“作为该合同的一部分，该钻井平台将升级为增强型控压钻井系统，”总裁兼首席执行官安东·迪博维茨表示，“我们相信，该合同反映了市场对能够通过高规格的第七代钻井船提供复杂钻井解决方案的承包商的偏好。”

Valaris was awarded a five-well contract offshore West Africa for drillship VALARIS DS-15. The contract is expected to commence in the third quarter 2026. The total contract value, based on an estimated duration of 250 days, is approximately $135 million and includes priced options for up to five wells with an estimated total duration of 80 to 100 days.

“As part of this contract, the rig will be upgraded with an enhanced managed pressure drilling system,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Anton Dibowitz said. “We believe this contract reflects the market’s preference for contractors that can deliver complex drilling solutions with high-specification, seventh generation drillships.”
