National Drilling Company (NDC), Abu Dhabi, awarded Lamprell a US$365 million contract for the construction and delivery of two high specification jackup drilling rigs of a Super 116E (enhanced) class.
Under the contract terms, NDC has options for Lamprell to build up to an additional three jackup rigs of the same design.
The contract adds to a series of six identical rigs Lamprell has built for NDC. As with the two of the previous six units under construction, these newly-ordered rigs will be completely outfitted, LeTourneau-designed, self-elevating mobile offshore drilling units of a Super 116E (enhanced) class design with a rated drilling depth of 30,000ft.
The rigs will be constructed at Lamprell's facility in Hamriyah, United Arab Emirates, with planned delivery dates in 4Q 2016 and 2Q 2017 respectively.
