Maritime Industrial Services (MIS) has been awarded a US$55.4 million contract by Abu Dhabi’s National Drilling Company (NDC) for the refurbishment of jack-up drilling rig NDC Al Bzoom.
The contract is MIS’ largest to date in its refurbishment value stream and will cover the rig integrity assurance programme as its base scope for the work.
“We enjoy a solid business association with MIS. This is not the first time that NDC contracts MIS for its specialised rig refurbishment works, nor will it be the last time,” said Abdalla Al Suwaidi, NDC general manager.
“This agreement builds on an excellent track record between the two companies. We will do everything in our capacity to ensure that this project further strengthens our partnership with NDC,” added Kevin Hudson, MIS managing director.
The NDC Al Bzoom rig is a Maker Marine BMC-150-IC design with a rated water depth capacity of 110ft and a drilling depth of 18,000ft.
