The contract is estimated to be a 100-day primary term that will begin in late-September and end in late-December at a dayrate of US$185,000.

In Bulgaria, Toal has an interest in the Khan Asparuh license in the Black Sea, about 120km  from the coast in -2000m water depth.

The French supermajor made a deepwater oil discovery in October 2016 in the license with the Noble Globetrotter II drillship.
