Ophir Energy is paying $52 million for a three-well programme, including mobilisation and demobilisation fees.
On 23 January, Africa-focused Ophir announced that it had signed up the unit for a firm three-well contract that is expected to take 60 days to complete, with an option for one more well.
Ziad Nakhleh, chief financial officer of Ocean Rig-related shipping company DryShips, told Upstream that the dayrate inclusive of any bonus was at “the high end of the $600,000” range and “closer to $700,000”.
