Seatrium has delivered its fifth newbuild jack-up rig Var to Borr Drilling, nearly one year ahead of schedule.

The successful delivery of Var marks the completion of the latest series of five B Class jack-up rigs that Seatrium has built for Borr Drilling.

The first three rigs, novated by Borr Drilling to ADNOC Drilling, were delivered in 2022 and 2023.

Var is a KFELS Super B Class jack-up rig, designed to operate in water depths of up to 400 feet and drill down to depths of up to 35,000 feet.

This versatile rig is capable of drilling deep wells both vertically and horizontally. Var is equipped with a fully automated high-capacity rack and pinion jacking system, and its cantilever structure has a maximum combined load of 3,700 kips, with capacity to accommodate full amenities for up to 150 persons.

Built at Seatrium’s Pioneer Yard in Singapore, the world-class KFELS Super B Class jack-up rig design meets the needs of a diverse range of customers, from small and independent oil companies to major multinational energy corporations.
