The Skald is a Super B 400 Bigfoot Class jackup drilling rig. The high-specification jackup rig is built by Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd's shipyard in 2018.
The Subsequent events: - Since
the previous quarterly results release in August 2019, the Company has been
awarded contracts, LOAs and extensions for 6 rigs with a combined revenue
backlog of approximately $169 million. Total additional backlog added year to
date of approximately $465 million.
Borr Drilling back in March 2019 had said it was in advanced negotiations with undisclosed operators for multi-year contracts for four newbuild rigs - Grid, Gersemi, Saga, and Skald, all warm-stacked in Singapore.
Saga and Skald - Negotiations for the other two rigs - continued. It was expected that the multi-year contracts for both of the rigs would start in the first quarter of 2020. However, in its latest fleet status report - issued on May 2 - Borr said that the letters of intent for the Saga and Skald rigs were cancelled. This means that both of the rigs will remain stacked in Singapore.
Both rigs are of a KFELS Super B Bigfoot Class design built by Keppel. The Saga rig was the first of five jack-up rigs that Keppel built for Borr Drilling and Skald was the second of five. They were delivered in January and June 2018, respectively.
Borr Drilling is an international drilling contractor that owns and operates jack-up rigs of modern and high-specification designs providing drilling services to the oil and gas exploration and production industry worldwide in water depths up to approximately 400 feet. With a low cost base, a strong and experienced organisational culture, combined with a unique capital structure, Borr Drilling is built to make a difference.
Borr Drilling has 13 high specification units on order in Singapore from Keppel FELS and PPL Shipyard (4 and 8 respectively) with delivery dates ranging from Q1 2018 to Q4 2020.
