The one-year drilling programme with the Deepwater Asgard is expected to commence in June in direct continuation of the rig’s current programme and includes additional services, the company said.

Transocean did not name the operator but its latest fleet status report listed the vessel as deployed for Hess, Upstream Online reported.
