The estimated duration of the contract extension is 90 days, which means that the Noble Innovator is now expected to be contracted into December 2024.
In addition, the parties have agreed to amend and expand the option structure included in the contract, so that it now contains options to extend the contract by up to six additional wells at pre-agreed dayrates.
