Semi-submersible Atwood Osprey landed two new contracts in Australia that will kick in after its current charter with Woodside Petroleum ends in December.
A one-well programme with ConocoPhillips will begin in January 2017 at a dayrate of $185,000. The contract provides a one-well option with a minimum duration of 45 days, according to Atwood's latest fleet status report.
The rig will then be marketed for use throughout the rest of 2017 before heading back to Woodside in January 2018 for between 20 and 22 months and 12 wells.
