Keppel delivers for Seadrill



By Upstream staff 

Keppel Offshore & Marine subsidiary Keppel Fels said it had delivered a jack-up drilling rig to Norwegian oilfield services group Seadrill within budget and ahead of time.

The West Prospero rig is the second KFels B Class design that Singapore-based Keppel has built for Seadrill.

The first unit West Ceres was delivered in April 2006.

Keppel is constructing two more jack-up rigs for Seadrill, due for delivery later this year and mid-2008, respectively.

The Keppel group has also built and delivered five proprietary design semi-submersible drilling tender rigs to Seadrill and has just been contracted to design and build a sixth.

West Prospero has already won a one-year charter agreement with ExxonMobil in Malaysia.
