The 350-ft jackup Noble Resolute has departed Esbjerg, Denmark, and is en route to the Netherlands to begin a new contract with Eni. The rig had been stationed in Denmark since July 2025, following the completion of its previous contract with TotalEnergies in the Netherlands. During its stay, the rig underwent essential maintenance, which included the installation and commissioning of a new top drive.

In October 2025, Noble secured a one-year contract with Eni for the Noble Resolute to work in the Dutch North Sea. The rig will operate at a dayrate of $125,000, with Eni holding options to extend the contract by up to 18 months.

The rig set sail for the Dutch North Sea on December 2, 2025, and is expected to reach its destination at Eni’s L10 location by December 4.
