Keppel FELS Limited (Keppel FELS) is on track towards an on-budget and on time delivery of the KFELS B Class jackup rig, West Callisto, to Seadrill Limited (Seadrill) before the end of July 2010. To date, the project has clocked a good safety record of 2.2 million man-hours without incidents. This rig was named at Keppel FELS today by Lady Sponsor Mrs Poespawardhani Priyono, spouse Mr R. Priyono, Chairman of BPMIGAS, Indonesia’s upstream oil and gas supervisory agency. Mr Wong Kok Seng, Executive Director of Keppel FELS, said, “Together, Keppel and Seadrill have been setting the global standard in offshore drilling since 1993. Our win-win partnership has yielded a fleet of 14 exceptional rigs worth US$1.5 billion. “The successful construction of West Callisto is another strong testimony of the teamwork between our companies. Keppel FELS looks forward to continue supporting our valued customer Seadrill with growing its market leadership in premium rigs.” West Callisto is expected to commence development drilling operations in Indonesia under a nine-month contract with Premier Oil, in the third quarter of 2010.
