Tor Olav Troim's Borr Drilling is to drill new offshore wells in Mexico, following the award of a new contract by Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex).

Nine new wells will be drilled under the contract, which will deploy Borr’s two brand-new PPL 400 jack-up rigs Grid and Gersemi, both of which were delivered in 2018.

Borr said it will collaborate with its partner and leading shareholder Schlumberger to provide end-to-end drilling and oilfield services during the Pemex contract.
