美国海上钻井承包商 Noble Corporation 披露了一项新的钻井任务，其一座自升式钻井平台将在苏里南海岸附近进行钻井，据报道，该钻井平台上个月与法国道达尔能源公司在阿根廷完成了任务。

Noble Regina Allen钻井平台的新单井合同已与苏里南近海一家未披露的运营商签订。该任务预计将持续约 65 天，从 2025 年第四季度开始。这笔交易将为 Noble 带来约 1770 万美元的总价值，包括动员和遣散费用。

由于其中一条支柱的顶升系统发生机械故障，该钻井平台于 2022 年退役至特立尼达的一个港口。由于停机时间延长，自升式钻井平台的多井合同被终止，因此自 2022 年 12 月中旬以来，其日费率下降。该钻井平台在荷兰鹿特丹进行了维修工作。

2023 年 9 月，道达尔能源公司租用Noble Regina Allen 自升式钻井平台， 在阿根廷签订了一份钻探三口井的 合同。该平台的工作预计需要 220 天，外加四个单口井选项。该自升式钻井平台于去年抵达该国，继续在 Fénix 平台钻探天然气井。

道达尔能源公司去年开始在阿根廷南部的Fenix 油田 生产 ， 但 Noble 自升式钻井平台的合同原定于 2024 年中期开始，并于 2025 年 2 月结束。该合同的运营日费率为 150,000 美元，不包括动员和遣散的额外费用。

2013 年建造的 Noble Regina Allen 自升式钻井平台采用 Friede & Goldman JU3000N 设计。该平台由裕廊船厂建造，可容纳 150 人。该钻井平台的钻井深度为 35,000 英尺（10.67 公里），可在水深 400 英尺（约 122 米）的水域作业。

考虑到当前的海上钻井市场基本面，Noble 认为，  从 2025 年底到 2026 年开始，对浮式钻井平台的需求将会增加，从而促使钻井平台进一步重新启动。

加纳、苏里南、美洲、美国墨西哥湾和澳大利亚的四座浮式钻井平台的任务为钻井平台所有者在 2025 年 2 月中旬获得 58 亿美元的积压订单奠定了基础。

U.S. offshore drilling contractor Noble Corporation has disclosed a new drilling assignment off the coast of Suriname for one of its jack-up rigs that reportedly wrapped up its assignment with France’s TotalEnergies in Argentina last month.

The Noble Regina Allen rig’s new one-well contract has been secured with an undisclosed operator offshore Suriname. The assignment is expected to span approximately 65 days, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025. This deal will bring Noble a total value estimated at $17.7 million, including mobilization and demobilization fees.

Following a mechanical failure with the jacking system on one of its legs, the rig was demobilized to a port in Trinidad in 2022. The jack-up’s multi-well contract was terminated because of extended downtime, thus, it was off day rates since mid-December 2022. The rig underwent repair work in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The Noble Regina Allen jack-up rig was hired in September 2023 by TotalEnergies for a three-well contract in Argentina. The unit’s job was estimated to take 220 days, plus four one-well options. The jack-up arrived in the country last year to continue drilling gas wells at the Fénix platform.

TotalEnergies started production from its Fenix field in southern Argentina last year, but the contract for Noble’s jack-up was scheduled to begin in mid-2024 and end in February 2025. The deal came with an operating day rate of $150,000, excluding additional fees for mobilization and demobilization.

The 2013-built Noble Regina Allen jack-up rig is of Friede & Goldman JU3000N design. Constructed at Jurong Shipyard, the unit can accommodate 150 people. With a drilling depth capability of 35,000 feet (10.67 kilometers), this rig can operate in water depths of up to 400 feet (around 122 meters).

Bearing in mind the current offshore drilling market fundamentals, Noble believes a step-up in drilling demand for the floater fleet is on the cards from late 2025 and 2026, prompting further rig reactivations.

Assignments for four floaters in Ghana, Suriname, the Americas, the U.S. Gulf, and Australia, set the stage for the rig owner to secure a backlog of $5.8 billion by mid-February 2025.
