The Noble-Resolute: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

Maersk Drilling has successfully obtained a new contract with Petrogas E&P Netherlands BV, set to focus on drilling two key offshore wells, designated A8 and A9, in Block A12 of the Dutch Continental Shelf in the North Sea. The reliable and efficient jack-up rig, Maersk Resolute, will be utilized for this drilling operation, which is scheduled to commence in June 2017 and is expected to continue for approximately 75 days. Notably, the contract includes options for extending the drilling campaign to encompass an additional five wells. While details regarding the financial aspects of the contract remain undisclosed, this development is significant for Maersk Drilling, particularly as the Maersk Resolute has been warm-stacked in the Port of Esbjerg, Denmark, and is now gearing up for the forthcoming drilling activities.

On the morning of May 2, 2012, a crew member aboard the Maersk Resolute experienced a fall, prompting a swift medevac operation. The incident occurred approximately 75 miles northwest of Vlieland, leading to the activation of emergency protocols. At 08:45, the Maersk Resolute communicated the need for immediate assistance, which triggered a rapid response from the Coastguard Centre in Den Helder. An offshore rescue helicopter was dispatched to the location, successfully retrieving the injured crew member. After the airlift, the individual was taken to De Kooy Airport and subsequently transported to Gemini Hospital in Den Helder for further medical attention.
