West Hercules
Seadrill's Semisubmersible West Hercules has been awarded contract by Equinor to drill exploration wells for the Bay du Nord field, offshore Canada. Total contract value for the firm term is $95m inclusive of additional services, mobilization and demobilization fees.
Equinor (60%), and its partner BP Canada (40%), had earlier made two oil discoveries offshore Newfoundland, Canada. The two wells at the Cappahayden and Cambriol prospects, drilled in the Flemish Pass Basin, have proven the presence of hydrocarbons; however, it is too early to provide specific information on volumes. The wells, were drilled by the semi-submersible drilling rig, Transocean Barents, are located approximately 500 kms east of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Cappahayden well has a water depth of about 1,000 metres and the Cambriol well has a depth of 600 metres. Equinor was the operator for the wells. As part of the 2020 exploration campaign, Equinor has also drilled a top-hole at the Sitka prospect.
