The rig is renamed “Energean Force”, it has undergone a full refurbishment at the Perama shipyards and it is now executing a 15-well drilling programme in the Gulf of Kavala, N.E. Greece.

The rig’s hull dimensions are 321 ft x 70 ft x 34.5 ft and is designed for water depths of between 40 ft and 656 ft. It can drill wells with a maximum depth of 20,000 ft.

The rig has an 8-anchor mooring system, a hoisting capacity of 1,000 kips and 2,000 HP draw works. It can accommodate 116 people on board.

The rig’s helideck can accommodate Sikorsky S-16N and S-92 model helicopters.

Energean Force carries two cranes with respective rating capacities of 100 tonnes and 20 tonnes. Each can operate at a maximum wave height of 8.2 ft at 11 sec and at a maximum wave speed of 40 knots.
