Noble bags UK semisub extension from Shell

Noble Corporation has secured a two-well extension from UK supermajor Shell for the semisub Ocean Endeavor in the UK North Sea.

The contract at an undisclosed dayrate will keep the unit fixed until June 2025 or approximately 130 days, and includes options for two more wells.

The 1976-built Ocean Endeavor has worked for Shell on the Penguins field, located northeast of the Shetland Islands.

New York and Copenhagen-listed offshore rig owner Noble acquired the semi through a merger deal with Diamond Offshore wrapped up in September.
