本周三，Maersk Drilling為最新購置的鉆井平臺在蘇格蘭Invergordon舉行了命名儀式。Maersk Drilling近期以優惠價購入該平臺。Maersk Oil首席運營官Gretchen H. Watkins女士將Maersk Drilling這一新資產命名為“Maersk Highlander”。該平臺曾用名為Hercules Highlander，與Mearsk Oil及合作商日本JX Nippon和英國BP簽有五年期租約，合同價值約4.2億美元(包括900萬美元的開工費)。目前該平臺已準備就緒，即將在北海Culzean天然氣田開展作業活動。
Maersk Drilling首席執行官 Claus. V. Hemmingsen稱： Maersk Highlander制造精良，可作為公司XLE鉆井平臺的姊妹平臺。Maersk Highlander作業水深為400英尺。從新加坡Jurong船廠出廠后，一直停泊在蘇格蘭Cromarty Firth港。
Claus V. Hemmingsen還表示：Maersk Highlander鉆井平臺的購置本不在公司發展計劃內。但該平臺與國際知名油氣公司簽訂了長期租約，由此可見，將該平臺納入麾下將為公司帶來無限機遇。

Maersk Drilling has named its latest drilling rig at a ceremony held Wednesday at Invergordon, Scotland. The company recently bought the newbuild rig for a discount price, and lady Gretchen H. Watkins, COO at Maersk Oil, has named Maersk Drilling’s newest asset – Maersk Highlander – which is now ready for the job. Maersk Highlander will soon start operations in the Culzean gas field in the North Sea where it will work for Maersk Oil and partners JX Nippon and BP. Maersk Highlander, formerly known as Hercules Highlander will work on a five-year contract valued at approximately $420 million, including a mobilization fee of $9 million.
I think we have acquired a very fine piece of equipment, a little sister to our XLE rigs,” said Maersk Drilling CEO Claus. V. Hemmingsen. The 400 feet newbuild has been at the Port of Cromarty Firth in Invergorden, Scotland, since she was transported from the Jurong Shipyard in Singapore.
“This rig was not originally part of our growth plans. However, the opportunity of acquiring this rig and adding her to our fleet seemed obvious to us as she came with a firm long-term contract with a well-known customer and partners,” Claus V. Hemmingsen said.
