本周三，Maersk Drilling为最新购置的钻井平台在苏格兰Invergordon举行了命名仪式。Maersk Drilling近期以优惠价购入该平台。Maersk Oil首席运营官Gretchen H. Watkins女士将Maersk Drilling这一新资产命名为“Maersk Highlander”。该平台曾用名为Hercules Highlander，与Mearsk Oil及合作商日本JX Nippon和英国BP签有五年期租约，合同价值约4.2亿美元(包括900万美元的开工费)。目前该平台已准备就绪，即将在北海Culzean天然气田开展作业活动。
Maersk Drilling首席执行官 Claus. V. Hemmingsen称： Maersk Highlander制造精良，可作为公司XLE钻井平台的姊妹平台。Maersk Highlander作业水深为400英尺。从新加坡Jurong船厂出厂后，一直停泊在苏格兰Cromarty Firth港。
Claus V. Hemmingsen还表示：Maersk Highlander钻井平台的购置本不在公司发展计划内。但该平台与国际知名油气公司签订了长期租约，由此可见，将该平台纳入麾下将为公司带来无限机遇。

Maersk Drilling has named its latest drilling rig at a ceremony held Wednesday at Invergordon, Scotland. The company recently bought the newbuild rig for a discount price, and lady Gretchen H. Watkins, COO at Maersk Oil, has named Maersk Drilling’s newest asset – Maersk Highlander – which is now ready for the job. Maersk Highlander will soon start operations in the Culzean gas field in the North Sea where it will work for Maersk Oil and partners JX Nippon and BP. Maersk Highlander, formerly known as Hercules Highlander will work on a five-year contract valued at approximately $420 million, including a mobilization fee of $9 million.
I think we have acquired a very fine piece of equipment, a little sister to our XLE rigs,” said Maersk Drilling CEO Claus. V. Hemmingsen. The 400 feet newbuild has been at the Port of Cromarty Firth in Invergorden, Scotland, since she was transported from the Jurong Shipyard in Singapore.
“This rig was not originally part of our growth plans. However, the opportunity of acquiring this rig and adding her to our fleet seemed obvious to us as she came with a firm long-term contract with a well-known customer and partners,” Claus V. Hemmingsen said.
