Noble is pleased to announce a new contract for the Noble Globetrotter I drillship in the Gulf of Mexico. The contract is for one firm well with up to six optional wells comprising a total potential duration of around 200 days. The contract is expected to commence in early January 2025 and has an estimated total contract value of $70m if all options are exercised. “This contract represents a great opportunity for our customer to benefit from the fuel efficient and versatile Globetrotter class technology,” says Blake Denton, Noble’s SVP of Marketing and Contracts.

Noble is pleased to announce a new contract with Tullow Ghana for the drillship Noble Venturer, commencing in May 2025, in direct continuation after completion of a campaign for Rhino Resources. The contract is for six firm wells (estimated to span 360 days) with total contract value of $171M. After the first two wells (~120 days), the contract will be suspended at zero rate until the end of 2025 to perform a planned SPS maintenance period including thruster replacement. After this break, the contract will resume in January 2026 for the remaining four firm wells (~240 days). The contract also includes three additional options of two wells each estimated at 120 days each. “The Noble Venturer’s return to Ghana is a clear indication of the continued trust and confidence Tullow has placed in Noble, the rig, and most importantly the crew. We’re committed to delivering exceptional performance for Tullow and continued value to the Ghanaian economy,” said Blake Denton, Noble’s SVP of Marketing and Contracts.

Customer: Can you move the Noble Resolve to Poland? Noble: Sure we can. Customer: Through a minefield? Noble: Hmmm. For Noble’s first drilling campaign in Poland, the 539 nautical mile journey for the Noble Resolve jackup rig from Esbjerg Denmark was full of challenges. Here are just some of the items on the to-do list of our marine operations department, supported by specialized contractors: • Time the departure from Esbjerg to coincide with a good weather window. • Pick up a pilot in the Skagerrak region of the North Sea to assist with navigating this busy shipping strait. • Transit the Drogden channel near the Copenhagen airport, coinciding with the planned shut down of two airport runways due to proximity of the very high rig legs. • Move under tow into the Baltic Sea and south to Poland. • Once near the very shallow shores of Wolin, avoid touching the seabed where unexploded ordinance from World War II remain. • Follow careful charts guided by divers who surveyed the drilling site for any unexploded ordinance. Here is a snapshot of this circuitous but carefully mapped plan in action. Hats off to all to who worked so hard to ensure the Noble Resolve’s prompt and safe arrival in Poland!

So proud of the Noble Mick O'Brien crew who won Rig of the Quarter from QatarEnergy LNG! They had to achieve QELNG's metrics of a full hurt-free quarter that added up to 135 consecutive injury-free days, as well as zero well control events and zero SIF events. Members of QELNG's leadership team visited the rig to present a trophy and congratulate the crew.

In this season of thanks, Noble expresses our gratitude to our employees who consistently bring the best of their talent to work, our customers for their trust in us, and our vendors who help us run safe and efficient operations all day, every day.
