New York-listed Ensco has announced three new drillship charters that will see one unit emerge from layup.
The company said the deals total three firm years off West Africa, with more than six additional years of options.
The previously laid-up 96,000-dwt Ensco DS-4 (built 2010) will start a two-year contract with Chevron off Nigeria in August, with a one-year option.
