据海上能源7月5日报道，海上钻井承包商Shelf Drilling为其Shelf Drilling Scepter自升式钻机已与雪佛龙(Chevron)泰国勘探和生产公司签订了一份合同，用于在泰国湾作业。
Shelf Drilling周五表示，该合同预计将于2020年第一季度开始，并持续到2022年第二季度，包括一年期权。
Shelf Drilling首席执行官David Mullen称，我们很高兴通过这个合同继续与Chevron建立长期合作伙伴关系。 高规格的自升式钻机对我们的船队进行了重大改进，我们很高兴能够在一个具有重要战略意义的地区获得首个合同。
该合同加强了我们在泰国湾的长期业务，并证明了Shelf Drilling在竞争激烈的市场中获得合同的成功。

同样在本周，Shelf Drilling为每个Shelf Drilling Tenacious和Shelf Drilling Mentor自升式钻机进行了为期两年的延期。
