OMV (Norge) AS has let a one-well contract to Maersk Drilling, which will employ the low-emission jack up rig Maersk Intrepid to drill a high pressure, high temperature exploration well in the Oswig prospect in Block 30/5C of the Northern North Sea basin offshore Norway.
The contract is expected to begin mid-2022. Discussions for additional services are under way. The contract includes a one-well option to drill the Eirik exploration well.
The contract contains an emission reduction bonus scheme based on rewarding CO2 emission reductions in addition to operational performance bonuses.
Maersk Intrepid is currently operating for Equinor Energy AS offshore Norway.
