印度石油有限公司已行使选择权，延长了与多芬钻井公司（Dolphin Drilling）旗下超深水半潜式钻井平台“布莱克福德海豚号”（Blackford Dolphin）的合同。此次延期将作业期限延长120天，至2026年5月10日，作业内容包括在印度东部海域进行的钻井、测试和弃井作业。

此次延期是在原定于 2024 年 3 月授予的为期约 14 个月的三口井钻探计划的基础上进行的。修订后的范围与之前的协议保持相同的速率和合同条款，突显了双方之间现有的运营框架。

Oil India Limited has exercised its option to extend the contract for Dolphin Drilling’s ultra-deepwater semisubmersible rig Blackford Dolphin. The extension covers an additional 120 days of operations through 10 May 2026 and includes drilling, testing and abandonment work at locations east of India.

The extension builds on the original campaign of three wells over approximately 14 months, awarded in March 2024. The amended scope retains the same rate and contractual terms as the previous agreement, underscoring the existing operational framework between the parties.
