Gotaverken's Arendal Shipyard in Sweden has delivered the jackup drilling rig Totonaca to Perforaciones Maritimas Protexa S.A. of Mexico, the fourth Friede and Goldman L-780 design completed by the yard.
The jackup drilling rig Totonaca (shown above) was delivered recently to Perforaciones Maritimas Protexa S.A. of Mexico by Gotaverken's Arendal Shipyard in Sweden. Following delivery, the rig began the trip to the Gulf of Mexico, where Protexa will operate it for Mobil.
This is the fourth jackup of Friede and Goldman L-780 design completed by the Arendal yard. Two units were built for Salen Energy of Sweden — Salenergy V and Salenergy VI — and two for Protexa, the other one named the Zapoteca. All four rigs will operate in the Gulf of Mexico or off the coast of Brazil.
