Stena Drilling has landed a contract with TotalEnergies for its sixth-generation harsh environment drillship, Stena DrillMax.
The 2008-built managed pressure drilling (MPD)-equipped unit, hot stacked since January, will be deployed on a one-well exploration campaign off Suriname.
The work is set to start during the second quarter of this year at an undisclosed dayrate.
The Aberdeen-based subsidiary of Sweden’s Stena with five drillships and one semisub in its fleet said the deal comes with options for up to three more wells also offshore Suriname.
