Noble Corporation says its Guyana operations continue to set new records, with over 200 wells now constructed in the Stabroek Block.
President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Eifler made the announcement during the company’s third quarter earnings call on October 27.
“In Guyana, our drillships continue to post record-setting results within the Wells Alliance. We have now constructed over 200 wells in the basin, delivering 60% of the most recent 25 wells in under 35 days,” Eifler said.

Guyana has become the most active region for Noble’s floater fleet, with four high-specification drillships — the Sam Croft, Bob Douglas, Tom Madden, and Don Taylor, operating exclusively under ExxonMobil’s Stabroek Block program.
According to Noble’s latest fleet status report, all four rigs are contracted through August 2028, representing the densest floater deployment in the company’s global portfolio.

Built by Hyundai Heavy Industries, the vessels share the Gusto P10000 design, capable of drilling in water depths up to 12,000 feet and reaching total depths of 40,000 feet.
Each drillship is classified under DNV, equipped with dynamic positioning systems (DYNPOS-AUTR), and registered under the Liberian flag — reflecting the advanced engineering and operational reliability driving Noble’s performance in Guyana’s deepwater frontier.
