The Netherlands-based Wagenborg Foxdrill, part of the Royal Wagenborg group, has finished an offshore lifting project, which entailed derrick removal for Perenco’s platform repurposing project. Upon completion of the conversion work, the operator will be able to use the unit as a production platform off Congo.
Dutch-based Dixstone Shipyard Holland, which is operating as a turnkey contractor for the platform conversion scope, awarded a derrick-removal deal to Wagenborg Foxdrill for the dismantling of the derrick from the Dagda jack-up drilling rig at the end of 2022. Wagenborg Foxdrill has now confirmed the completion of the derrick dismantling work about 50 kilometers off the coast of Congo.
