The jack-up Noble Regina Allen will be deployed off Nova Scotia, Canada for two months longer than originally planned.

Noble’s rig has been performing well plug and abandonment (P&A) activities on the ExxonMobil-led Sable gas complex as part of an overall project decommissioning process.

This P&A campaign is centred on 22 wells drilled across five wellhead platforms.

The Canadian Transportation Agency had granted Noble a licence to deploy the jack-up off Nova Scotia until 21 November this year.
