The contract also includes an additional one-well option, Noble Corporation said.

The firm three-well contract will span a minimum of 140 days, and the one option well estimated minimum 20 days.

The contract value of the firm duration is approximately $70 million, and $11 million for the option period, excluding additional fees for MPD services, mobilization, and demobilization fees.

This contract will commence in direct continuation of Noble Viking’s current contract in Malaysia, estimated in the second quarter of 2025.
