Borr Drilling will have eight KFELS B Class rigs following delivery.

Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M)’s wholly-owned subsidiary Keppel FELS has delivered a jackup rig to O&G service firm Borr Drilling, according to a press release.

Named Heimdal, the jackup rig was built to its proprietary KFELS B Class design, and is the fifth of eleven jackup rigs that Borr Drilling has ordered from Keppel. Following this delivery, Borr Drilling will have eight KFELS B Class rigs in their fleet.

Developed by Keppel O&M’s technology arm, Offshore Technology Development, the rig is made to operate in 400 ft water depth and drill to 30,000 feet, and is equipped with a full 15,000 psi BOP system, with accommodation for up to 150 personnel.

Keppel previously delivered the Saga, Skald, Thor and Hermod jackup rigs to Borr Drilling, with the most recent one brought last October 2019.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
