Valaris Limited has announced that it has been awarded a four-well contract with BP offshore Mauritania and Senegal for the drillship, VALARIS DS-12. The contract is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2022 with an estimated duration of 285 days.
In December 2016, bp entered into a partnership with Kosmos Energy in Mauritania and Senegal, signing an agreement to acquire a significant working interest, including operatorship, of Kosmos’ exploration blocks in Mauritania and Senegal – acreage which holds world-class deepwater gas discoveries and exploration prospectivity across both countries.
The approximately 33,000 sq km of acreage covered by the wider bp and Kosmos partnership, is thought to contain between 50-100 tcf of gas resource potential, and includes the Greater Tortue/ Ahmeyim field, estimated to contain more than 15 tcf of discovered gas resources.
