Entering MoU to streamline Mexico operations and improve liquidity
On 15th June 2021, BORR has five rigs delivering integrated well services for Pemex for joint ventures that are jointly held with our Mexican partner. Pemex has received an added output of about 125,000 barrels of oil per day from 21 wells drilled since the services began in May 2019. The most recent discussion with Pemex management yielded a very positive assessment of the operation’s performance and cost-efficiency.
The integrated well services joint ventures have received a request for the program to be extended, and the five Borr Drilling rigs are scheduled to be used until the end of 2022. In accordance with this extension, BORR and Mexican’s partners have agreed to make certain modifications to the joint ventures’ structures. This includes Mexican partner purchasing Borr Drilling’s 49 percent interest in the integrated services JVs Opex and Akal.
