Lamprell delivers jack-up rig
Jindal Pioneer during its successful jacking trial, held in December 2014
The contract for the rig was signed in January 2013, and this is the second rig with the LeTourneau Super 116E (Enhanced) Class design, which Lamprell has delivered to this client. The first rig, the Jindal Star successfully sailed away from Lamprell’s Hamriyah facility in the fourth quarter of 2013 and is currently deployed in the Bombay high oilfield, run by India's Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), offshore India.
The Jindal Pioneer rig was officially named, and completion was marked, at a ceremony held at Lamprell’s Hamriyah facility in the United Arab Emirates in January.
The rig is the twelfth Super 116E jackup drilling unit that the group has delivered to various clients during the last seven years. Lamprell currently has seven newbuild jack-up rigs under construction at its Hamriyah facility and the construction of further two further jack-up rigs recently awarded by another client is due to start shortly.
