Offshore drilling contractor Noble Corporation has received a contract award for a jack-up drilling rig in Qatar. The company reported in its latest fleet status report on Thursday that the jack-up drilling rig Noble Houston Colbert has been awarded a contract by JX Nippon in Qatar. The contract, with an undisclosed dayrate, will start in December 2016 and last until May 2017. Noble Houston Colbert has been warm stacked at a shipyard in the UAE since July 2016. The unit previously worked for Total in Argentina until June 2016. The rig, of a Friede & Goldman JU3000N design, was built in 2014 by Sembcorp Marine. Noble said in the report that four of its jack-up drilling rigs are expected to experience a number of days of operational downtime, all at zero dayrate.
