Leading offshore drilling contractor, with headquarters in Dubai, UAE, Shelf Drilling, has announced a two-year extension of its contract in West Africa, in collaboration with Conoil Producing Nigeria Limited.
The extension is as a result of a successful partnership that has spanned over eight years, punctuated with wholesome delivery of standard projects.
With rig operations across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, India, West Africa among others, the extended contract of Shelf Drilling commenced earlier in 2025, and is expected to terminate early in 2027 with an additional one year option expected to run into 2028.
Shelf Drilling has established itself as a leading player in the rig industry, with special mention of its Adriatic I jack-up rig with Conoil.
This will enable Conoil prosecute its extensive exploration and development activities in OMLs 153 and 59 located in offshore, shallow waters of Nigeria.
