WilPhoenix Object Of Company Dispute
In late June, Apache North Sea and Awilco Drilling resolved a dispute on WilPhoenix.
The dispute concerned the rig’s yard stay, which Awilco said was taking longer than anticipated, while Apache disputed the rig was ready to drill.
Meanwhile, the rig was at Apache’s Storr field since June 26 and resumed operations at the drilling location on the same date.
WilPhoenix is a semisubmersible drilling rig equipped to drill in water depths up to 1,200 feet, owned by Awilco Drilling.
