The
Ocean
BlackLion
will
mirror
the
three
rigs
that
the
global
contractor
has
already
contracted
from
Hyundai
Heavy
Industries
of
South
Korea.
“We
believe
this
new
drillship
along
with
our
four
additional
units
under
construction—the
Ocean
BlackHawk,
Ocean
BlackHornet,
Ocean
BlackRhino
and
Ocean
Onyx—will
be
profitably
employed
in
the
deep
and
ultra-deepwater
markets,”
chief
executive
Larry
Dickerson
said
in
a
statement.
The
newest
rig
is
due
for
delivery
by
the
end
of
2014
and
will
have
the
capacity
to
drill
in
water
depths
of
up
to
12,000
feet.
Its
spare
seven-ram
blowout
preventer
stack
comes
at
a
cost…
