In a statement Smedvig said, “West Alliance is contracted for production drilling on the West Seno field offshore Indonesia, currently operating on the TLP A platform. The contract also included drilling from the TLP B platform.”
“However, due to postponement of TLP B, West Alliance will be released after completion of the drilling program on the West Seno TLP A,” it added.
On a separate note, the Norwegian firm announced it been awarded a letter of intent by ConocoPhillips for the self-erecting T-3 tender rig.
According to Smedvig, “The contract value is estimated to approximately US$4.5 million, including mobilisation and demobilisation fee of US$1.8 million. The production drilling assignment in Indonesia has a duration of approximately 60 days, scheduled to start mid October 2004.”
