The Total North Sea award

A 2012 letter of award for an initial 690-day drilling programme.

In 2012, Prospector announced a letter of award from Total E&P UK for its first jack-up. The announced terms contemplated an initial 690-day programme, subject to a mutually agreed contract.

The announcement described a Friede & Goldman JU2000E rig capable of operating in nominal water depths up to 400 feet. It paired a high-specification platform with an experienced operations team.

An award is a starting point for detailed alignment: well objectives, acceptance requirements and operational interfaces must be translated into a deliverable campaign. The programme established a clear North Sea focus for the company.
