BW Energy converted a short-term lease for the Super Gorilla class jack-up rig BW MAROMBA B into a long-term project lease agreement with Minsheng. The agreement covers the rig purchase and all work required to prepare the unit as a combined drilling and production wellhead platform for the Maromba field. The lease will take effect upon first oil from the development, with no lease payments due prior to that milestone.
