Early 2023, the company signed a bareboat charter for the Drillship "Deep Value Driller" with Saipem as Charterer. The Charterer utilizes the Drillship for operations on the Ivory Coast under a drilling contract with Eni Côte d'Ivoire Ltd. The bareboat charter term was originally for 11 wells firm with 6 wells options. Deep Value Driller commenced operation on full day rate 1 November 2023.
7 March 2025 the company entered into an option agreement with the Charterer, where the Charterer has been granted an option until 14 April 2025 to enter into an amended bareboat charter.
14 April 2025 the Charterer exercised the option. The Amended Bareboat Charter will cover a period of 365 days from 1July 2025 (the "Initial Period"), with an option for the Charterer within the first 6 months of the Initial Period to extend the Initial Period with an additional 365 days (the "Second Period"). For the Initial Period, the Amended BBC will add in the range of USD 54-55 million in revenue backlog to the group, assuming no idle period for the Drillship or other periods where reduced rates may apply as per the Amended Bareboat Charter.
Following the exercise of the Option, the Charterer has further been granted an option to purchase the Drillship for 300 mill USD. For more information, please see the Company's announcement of 7 March 2025.
The rig continues to perform to the satisfaction of the charterer and delivers exceptional operational performance and safety.
Total distribution Q1 has been 0,75 NOK per share (0,25 NOK per month).
The company decision of distributing excess cash by 0,25 NOK per share per month remains.
