Offshore driller Rowan Companies has renamed its latest additions to the rig fleet to honor the legacy of two former employees.
Rowan said on Thursday that it renamed its two LeTourneau Super 116E jack-ups, the P-59 and P-60, after late Rowan retirees who significantly contributed to the company’s success.
Both rigs were delivered new into service in 2013 and Rowan bought them from a Petrobras subsidiary in a public auction in early 2018. Rowan paid $38.5 million per unit. The company intends to mobilize both modern jack-ups to the Middle East from Brazil early in the second quarter of 2018.
