(offshore-energy.biz) Brazilian state-owned energy giant Petrobras has disclosed the arrival of a jack-up rig, owned by Borr Drilling, a UK-headquartered offshore drilling contractor, in Brazilian waters, where it will undertake well decommissioning activities at oil and gas assets off the coast of Brazil.
After Borr Drilling’s Arabia I jack-up rig won a four-year contract with Petrobras in Brazil, with a four-year unpriced option, the work was slated to begin in Q1 2025. Petrobras, which is determined to invest in the sustainable disposal of 26 offshore production units in Sergipe, confirmed the rig arrived on Sunday, April 13, in the Sergipe Basin for well decommissioning activities in the Guaricema field, located in shallow waters approximately 9 kilometers from the coast.
According to the Brazilian giant, these operations are part of its facilities decommissioning program in Sergipe, which foresees investments of around $1.7 billion in the region within the company’s Strategic and Business Plan for the period 2025 to 2029. The 2020-built Arabia I jack-up rig is of a Keppel FELS B Class design and can accommodate 150 people. With a maximum drilling depth of 30,000 feet (9.14 kilometers), the rig can work in water depths of 400 feet (about 122 meters).
