BP has signed up to a US $1 billion deal with a new deepwater drillship contracted from Ensco.

Newbuild Ensco DS 6 has been contracted by BP for up to five years on a day-rate of $522,000, adding more than $1 bn to Ensco's revenue backlog, the drilling contractor declared today.

After delivery from Samsung Heavy Industry's construction yard in South Korea, the new drillship is undergoing BP-specific modifications prior to deployment by BP in the fourth quarter this year.

As part of the equipment package, the new drillship is being equipped with double-blind shear rams   specified by BP. The drillship features a six-ram 15,000 psi BOP, a two million pound hook load, plus a 6,000-barrel active fluid system, and accommodations for up to 200 personnel.

Ensco DS 6 – based on a Samsung DP3 design, is the  fourth of five units in the series. Ensco DS-7, the final unit in the series, is still being built in South Korea and is due for delivery in the second half of next year.
