Pacific Drilling, Chevron begin GoM contract

Pacific Drilling’s ultra deepwater Pacific Sharav began its five-year drilling contract for Chevron on 27 August 2014.

The contract is estimated to be worth more than US$1 billion, bringing Pacific Drilling’s total contract backlog as of 22 June 2012, to approximately $3.2 billion.

The Pacific Sharavis capable of operating in water depths of up to 12,000ft and drilling wells up to 40,000ft deep.

Pacific Sharav was delivered in May 2014 from Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea.

This week, Pacific Drilling announced a contract extension for the Pacific Bora. The contract was extended by Star Deep Water for a Nigerian project.
