According to Equinor, Maersk Intrepid initially had a contract for operational support for the Martin Linge licence until April 2019. Equinor has now chosen to exercise two one-month options, and then start a new contract from 1st June to 31th October 2019.
In addition Maersk Intrepid will get four new two-month extension options. The value of the fixed part of the new contract is assessed at USD 40 million. The jack-up rig will mainly be used to add bed capacity on the field, but may also be used for drilling-related tasks.
