Malaysia offshore drilling rig contractor, Icon Offshore announced that its subsidiary company, IOSSB has received a letter of award from ConocoPhillips Sarawak for the provision of a Jack-Up Rig, namely Icon Caren for ConocoPhillips Sarawak’s 2022 drilling campaign.
In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, Icon said that IOSSB has received letter of award for the provision of a jack-up rig to drill three (3) wells plus one (1) well which is expected to commence in the 2nd quarter of 2022 . The Contract has an estimated value of USD9.6 million.
In a statement, Icon managing director Datuk Seri Hadian Hashim noted that Icon Caren has been working continuously since April 2021 and has established a credible track record.
“We look forward to delivering value-added services to ConocoPhillips during the tenure of the contract and at the same time strengthen Icon Caren’s credential to secure future contracts,” he said.
