Maersk Drilling lands Ghana job
Ghana 
COPENHAGEN, January 3, 2018 – Tullow Oil has hired Maersk Drilling’s drillship Maersk Venturer to work on the Jubilee and TEN fields offshore Ghana on a four-year contract for an undisclosed amount.
”I am very pleased that Maersk Drilling will be mobilising another deepwater rig for this significant job in a strategically important region,” Lars Ostergaard, the CCO of Maersk Drilling, said in a Tuesday statement. “It is our first contract with Tullow Ghana and it is a testament to our successful operational track record in Ghana.”
Tullow Oil has been seeking to restart development drilling in the TEN fields since September, when the Special Chamber of the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea ruled that the fields were on Ghana’s side of the maritime border with Côte d’Ivoire.
