Noble Drilling, a prominent offshore drilling contractor headquartered in London, United Kingdom, is preparing to host an eagerly anticipated event – the Q4 Open Supplier Day, scheduled for October 24, 2023, at Duke Lodge in Kingston, Georgetown.
The primary goal of this event is to forge connections and familiarize local suppliers with the dynamic oil and gas sector, as well as provide an in-depth understanding of Noble’s intricate bidding process. Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights directly from the company’s experienced procurement professionals, delving into the complexities of the procurement process.
Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to expand their professional networks and engage in meaningful discussions during networking sessions.
The forum will cover a diverse range of stimulating discussions, including a dedicated exploration of the 2023 tenders. Furthermore, the event will include a moderated interactive discussion with a dedicated question and answer segment.
It’s important to note that Noble Drilling’s parent company, Noble Corporation, has a distinguished track record in the drilling industry. Recognized for their modern and technologically advanced fleet, they have been actively supporting Exxon’s drilling campaigns in Guyana for several years.
In February 2020, a groundbreaking commercial enabling agreement solidified the collaboration between Noble Corporation and ExxonMobil in the Guyana-Suriname Basin. This historic agreement included the integration of state-of-the-art ultra-deepwater drillships—Noble Bob Douglas, Noble Tom Madden, and Noble Don Taylor. Later, in August 2020, Noble Drilling secured a significant six-month contract for the esteemed Noble Sam Croft drillship with Exxon.
Building on their recent successes, Noble Drilling has received a substantial extension of their backlog commitment from Exxon under the Commercial Enabling Agreement (CEA). This extension has resulted in an extended contract duration for four drillships—Noble Tom Madden, Noble Sam Croft, Noble Don Taylor, and Noble Bob Douglas. These exceptional vessels will operate under the CEA from the fourth quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2027, solidifying Noble Drilling’s prominent position in the industry.
