The contract is conditional upon Energean’s final investment decision (FID) regarding the Karish and Tanin gasfields.
In a statement, Energean Israel said: “Energean considers this to be a significant step in the development of Karish and part of a development plan, which targets supplying gas to the growing Israeli gas market.”
The Stena Forth is a DP Class 3 ultra-deepwater drillship and will be mobilised from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.
Under the development programme of the Karish field, Energean will engage in the drilling of three development wells and production from a new floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel around 90km offshore.
