Woodside Petroleum has secured deep-water drilling rigs in Australia to support its field development projects in the coming two years.
The two latest contracts will see Woodside use the Diamond Offshore semi-submersible Ocean Apex from early January 2021 until mid November 2021, and the Valaris semisub DPS-1 from July 2020 to September 2021. Woodside has just finished one contract with Valaris for the DPS-1 and has already booked the Ocean Apex from early January 2020 until late September next year.
