Maersk Drilling plans to commence contract work next month and complete it within 45 days.

Prior to the commencement of the contract, the company plans to integrate Maersk Resolute rig with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, which is designed to use ammonia injection to convert NOx into harmless water and nitrogen.

The SCR system is expected to reduce NOx emissions by up to 98%.

Maersk Drilling COO Morten Kelstrup said: “We’re happy to add this contract for Petrogas, which will bring Maersk Resolute back to work on an extreme extended reach well at P9 Horizon, which the rig originally completed in the autumn of 2019.
