LONDON– Noble Corp. plc has provided a post-Hurricane Harvey status update on its US Gulf of Mexico fleet, which consists of three contracted units, three warm-stacked units, and three cold-stacked rigs.
The company reported that four of the contracted or warm-stacked units were safely relocated without incident ahead of the storm to other areas of the Gulf of Mexico, while the other two contracted or warm-stacked units remained at their existing locations and sustained no damage.
The company’s three contracted units have already resumed normal operations and remained on rate during the storm, while the three warm-stacked units are currently at a temporary location pending further plans for relocation.
An assessment of the three cold-stacked rigs will be conducted in due course but no significant damage is expected.
