ConocoPhillips Cancels Drillship Contract with Ensco: Key Details Revealed
In a significant development for the offshore drilling sector, Ensco has confirmed the termination of a three-year drillship contract by ConocoPhillips. The ENSCO DS-9, a state-of-the-art drillship built in 2014, was slated to begin operations under this contract in the fourth quarter of 2023. As part of the termination, ConocoPhillips is required to pay a monthly termination fee for a period of two years, amounting to approximately $550,000 per day. However, these fees could be reduced if Ensco secures a new contract for the rig within this timeframe. In addition, ConocoPhillips must cover any costs incurred by Ensco as a result of the contract's termination. The cancellation reflects ongoing shifts in the energy market and underscores the challenges faced by offshore drilling companies in securing long-term agreements.
