Keppel FELS delivers Cantarell jackups

Keppel FELS has delivered two jackup rigs to Mexico's Grupo R.

Built to Keppel's proprietary KFELS B Class design, the rigs, CANTARELL I and CANTARELL II, will be chartered to PEMEX for operations in the Cantarell oil field offshore Mexico. They are the first two of five jackup rigs that Keppel FELS is building for Grupo R.

With the two rigs delivered, there will be 10 KFELS B Class rigs working in Mexico, two of which are directly owned by PEMEX. It is the dominant rig design in the region, with those already in operation turning out robust, efficient and economical, performances for Mexico.

The KFELS B Class jackup is designed to operate in water depths of up to 400ft and drill to depths of 30,000ft. Developed by Keppel's Offshore Technology Development, the KFELS B Class jackup is equipped with an advanced and fully-automated high capacity rack and pinion jacking system, and self-positioning fixation system. It has accommodation with full amenities for 150 persons.

With the deliveries, Keppel FELS has delivered three rigs in 2016 to-date.
