Statoil will suspend Songa Trym contract after the current well at the Oseberg field in the North Sea. The rig is currently performing plug and abandonment activity and is ahead of planned schedule for this scope of work. From mid November 2014, the rig will go on 75% suspension rate (USD 279.000 per day) expected until the end of the year 2014.
Songa Offshore plan to take the opportunity of this suspension period to accelerate some specific planned maintenance work that is more cost efficiently achieved outside operations.
The overall financial impact is expected to be limited, due to anticipated lower operating expenses in the suspension period.
