Per the terminated contract, the Deepwater India rig was expected to work until August at a rate of $170,000 per day. Burullus sent a notice of early termination to Transocean in April for its drilling contract with the Discoverer India.

As per the terms of the drilling contract, Burullus will now pay a termination fee associated with its early termination of the contract. However, the termination fee has not been publicized by the company.
