Offshore drilling giant Noble Corporation has won contract extensions for two drillships with supermajor BP.
The UK-based company extended the deals for the Noble BlackLion and Noble BlackHornet by an additional two years in the US Gulf of Mexico.
The total firm contract value over the combined four years is approximately $620m. Based on this additional term, the Noble BlackLion and Noble BlackHornet will stay with BP into September 2028 and February 2029, respectively.
“We are extremely pleased to continue these high specification drillships’ long-term assignments with BP in the US Gulf, which will now be approaching one decade in tenure,” said Robert Eifler, president and CEO of Noble.
