丹麦海上钻井承包商马士基钻井公司（Maersk Drilling）已获得道达尔能源公司（TotalEnergies）的延期合同，在安哥拉（Angola）钻探出一项新的世界纪录。
道达尔能源公司已行使第七代钻井船“Maersk Voyager”号的期权，在安哥拉第48区对超深水“Ondjaba-1”勘探井开展钻探工作。该钻井船船东于周五表示，此合同预计延期54天，这意味着“Maersk Voyager”号现有合同期会延长至2022年2月。
“Ondjaba-1”勘探井的钻探工作于2021年10月开始，之后钻井船计划会驶往纳米比亚（Namibia）钻探名为“Venus”的钻井。同时，此合同中还有一项单井期权。
“Ondjaba-1”勘探井将在3628米水深处进行钻探，这是一项新的世界纪录。目前的世界纪录为3400米，是由“Voyager”号的姐妹钻井船“Maersk Venturer”号2016年钻探道达尔公司在乌拉圭（Uruguay ）海上“Raya-1”钻井时创下的。
马士基钻井公司首席运营官Morten Kelstrup说： “我们的确将在钻探中创下一个新的世界纪录，为此我们感到非常激动。‘Ondjaba-1’勘探井是‘Maersk Voyager’号在安哥拉原有合同的一部分，但由于2020年初以来世界面临的前所未有之情况，该钻井平台的钻探计划经历了几次变化。 ”
他还表示：“随着这个合同期权面临叫停，我们现在期待着证明马士基钻井公司和能力很强的‘Voyager’号船员能够与道达尔能源公司密切合作，再次打破现存的界限。"
“Maersk Voyager”号是2014年交付使用的一艘高规格超深海钻井船。自2015年以来它一直在非洲近海作业，并于2020年1月开始为道达尔能源公司进行运作，当时它应该是在有史以来最深的近海水深处进行钻探工作。
随着2020年4月因新冠肺炎疫情（Covid-19）大流行而暂停作业后，该钻井船于2020年8月重新开始投入运作。
2020年10月，该钻井船从道达尔能源公司获得了一份三口勘探井期权的合同，于安哥拉第17区钻探开发井，并会一直工作到2021年的第二季度。

Maersk drillship to drill for a new world record in Angola
Danish offshore drilling contractor Maersk Drilling has been awarded a contract extension from TotalEnergies to drill for a new world record in Angola.
TotalEnergies has exercised an option for the 7th generation drillship Maersk Voyager to drill the ultra-deepwater Ondjaba-1 exploration well in Angola’s Block 48. The contract extension has an estimated duration of 54 days, which means that Maersk Voyager is now contracted until February 2022, the rig owner informed on Friday.
The work on Ondjaba-1 started in October 2021, after which the rig is scheduled to move to Namibia to drill the Venus well. One one-well option remains on the contract.
The Ondjaba-1 well will be drilled at a new world record water depth of 3,628 m. The current world record is 3,400 m, set by Voyager’s sister drillship Maersk Venturer when it drilled the Rava-1 well for TotalEnergies offshore Uruguay in 2016.
Morten Kelstrup, COO of Maersk Drilling, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to confirm that we indeed will be drilling for a new world record. Ondjaba-1 was part of Maersk Voyager’s original contract in Angola, but the rig’s drilling programme has undergone several changes due to the unprecedented circumstances the world has faced since early 2020.
“With this contract option called, we’re now looking forward to proving that Maersk Drilling and the highly capable Voyager crew can once again break existing boundaries in close collaboration with TotalEnergies.”
Maersk Voyager is a high-spec ultra-deepwater drillship that was delivered in 2014. It has been operating offshore Africa since 2015 and started operations for TotalEnergies in January 2020 when it was supposed to drill in the deepest water depth ever drilled offshore.
Following a suspension in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the rig restarted operations in August 2020.
In October 2020, the drillship was awarded a three-well contract from TotalEnergies to drill development wells in Angola’s Block 17, keeping it busy until 2Q 2021.
