Designed by LeTourneau Technologies, the rigs, capable of drilling to depths of 30,000 ft in water of up to 350 ft, as well as accommodating 160 people, will be constructed at Lamprell’s Hamriyah yard in the UAE.

The rigs are due to be delivered in the third quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2017, and bound for the waters of Southeast Asia.

"We are delighted to be announcing this project win from Shelf Drilling for the construction of two new build jack-up rigs, particularly as Shelf Drilling is a new client for the Group,” said Lamprell ceo James Moffat. “This is also our second multiple-rig contract award with a major international drilling contractor in the space of a month.”
