Offshore drilling giant Noble Corporation has won a new contract for one of its jackup rigs.

The company won a deal for the 2013-built Noble Regina Allen with an undisclosed operator offshore Suriname.

The contract is for one well, will span approximately 65 days, and is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The work under the charter has a total value estimated at $17.7m including mobilization and demobilization fees.

The Noble Regina Allen’s last hire ended in February 2025. It previously worked for French energy major TotalEnergies offshore Argentina on a $150,000 dayrate. The contract with the French firm started in May 2024.
