Offshore drilling contractor Noble Corporation has received a contract award for a jack-up drilling rig in Qatar. The company reported in its latest fleet status report on Thursday that the jack-up drilling rig Noble Houston Colbert has been awarded a contract by JX Nippon in Qatar. The contract, with an undisclosed dayrate, will start in December 2016 and last until May 2017. Noble Houston Colbert has been warm stacked at a shipyard in the UAE since July 2016.
