Awilco Drilling Plc: Wilphoenix Downtime

 
TIDMAWDR 
 
   The WilPhoenix incurred technical downtime on Monday 16(th) November 
whilst operating for Serica Energy (UK) Limited on the Rhum R3 
Intervention Project. Repairs to the failed equipment have been 
completed but the rig remains on zero rate awaiting weather conditions 
to allow the work to continue. Operations are expected to resume on or 
about 17(th)  December but as a consequence of the downtime and weather 
delays, WilPhoenix is expected to remain at Rhum until late January 
2021. 
 
   WilPhoenix is one of Awilco Drilling's two Enhanced Pacesetter 
semi-submersibles and is equipped for drilling in water depths up to 
1,200 ft. Awilco Drilling also has one new build rig on order of Moss 
CS60 ECO MW design equipped for drilling in harsh environments, and an 
option for one additional rig of the same design.
