Maersk Drilling has been awarded a $58million contract from DONG Energy for use of the jack-up drilling rig the Maersk Resolve.

The contract, for operations in the Danish North Sea, is expected to start in August 2013, in direct continuation of its current contract in the UK, and last for nine months. 

The rig will then have a planned yard stay, before starting another five-well contract with DONG Energy,  awarded in March 2012, expected to last about two years. 

Drilling will include work on the Hejre field development, which requires the drilling of a number of deep and complicated high-pressure-high-temperature wells.

Maersk Resolve is the third in a series of four 350 ft jack-up rigs in Maersk Drilling's fleet. Since its delivery in 2009 the rig has been employed in the Danish and UK North Sea.
