Singapore's Keppel Kazakhstan and its consortium partner, Ersai Caspian Contractor have won a $242 million jackup rig contract from Teniz Burgylau, Keppel Offshore & Marine (O&M) said in a statement Tuesday.
Teniz Burgylau is a unit of KazMunayGas, Kazakhstan's state-owned oil and gas company.
The KFELS B jackup rig is slated for delivery in 1Q 2015 and will be deployed in the Caspian Sea when it is completed. The rig is able to operate in water depths of up to 262 feet, upgradeable to 400 feet and can drill to depths of up to 20,000 feet.
Keppel Kazakhstan and Ersai Caspian Contractor will split the work equally on the rig.
