Sirius Petroleum reported that the critical equipment re-certification of the COSL Force jack-up rig has commenced, prior to its mobilization to the Ororo-2 in Nigeria. COSL, Sirius’ partner, informed the company that the COSL Force required critical equipment re-certification before it could be released to its next contract.
Senior Sirius operational personnel have now joined the COSL team in Dubai where the COSL Force is currently stationed and have commenced a program of critical equipment re-certification. This includes a 5-year re-certification of key equipment which will allow for an extended operational duration for the rig in West Africa.
Once this work program has been completed, the rig will be loaded onto its designated Heavy Lift Vessel (HLV). COSL is currently in discussions with HLV providers and, once confirmed, the COSL Force will be mobilized to the Ororo-2 well location.
Commenting, Bobo Kuti, Chief Executive of Sirius, said “We are very pleased to be back on track with the COSL Force, and while the intervening period has been longer than anticipated we can look forward to finally mobilizing the rig to the Ororo-2 well location and commencing the drilling program during the summer.”
