Offshore drilling contractor Noble has confirmed that its 350-ft jack-up rig Noble Resolute will begin a new one-year campaign with Eni in the Dutch sector of the North Sea starting December 2025. The agreement is valued at a dayrate of $125,000.

In addition to the firm term, Eni has secured optional extensions totaling up to 18 months, potentially lengthening the engagement beyond 2026.

The Noble Resolute is presently idle in Denmark, following the completion of its previous assignment for TotalEnergies offshore the Netherlands in July 2025.

All information has been reviewed and verified by the HMT News editor.
Reuters sources describe preliminary negotiations with no certainty of a deal. Eni's Libyan output averaged about 162,000 boe/d in 2025, while neither company confirmed the discussions.
NOC targets launch by the end of October, while Eni forecasts annual domestic gas supply of about 700 million standard cubic metres from facilities built to recover gas previously flared at Bouri.
Ocean Oilfield is seeking new drilling work for the jack-up, which arrived in Malta on 13 October 2026. Immediate deployment remains dependent on commercial arrangements and operating requirements.
