Maersk Drilling has been awarded a contract with TotalEnergies E&P Denmark to employ the high-efficiency jack-up rig Maersk Reacher for well intervention services in the Danish North Sea, Maersk said in a statement.

The company stated that the contract, which is expected to commence in July 2022 and will continue for 21 months, can be extended by up to 27 additional months.

On this occasion, Claus Bachmann, Head of North Sea Division in Maersk Drilling, “We’re happy to build further on our long-standing collaboration with TotalEnergies by adding this long-term contract which means that two of our rigs will be working for TotalEnergies in Danish waters this year. Maersk Reacher will be available for the job after being released from its current work scope in Norway through the planned rig swap with Maersk Integrator.”
