North Atlantic Drilling (NADL) has been awarded a firm one-well extension plus one optional well from Statoil for the jackup West Elara.
The work will start in direct continuation of West Elara's existing contract with Statoil and the backlog for the firm portion of the extension is estimated to be US$10 million. The West Elara has worked for Statoil since 2011 and North Atlantic Drilling says it is pleased to continue this long-term relationship.
