BP awarded Valaris a $16.8 million contract to perform a two‑well workover and completion campaign offshore Trinidad. The work was carried out by the VALARIS 249 jack‑up rig, a LT Super Gorilla platform capable of drilling to 35,000 ft and housing 120 personnel. The campaign, known as the Angelin campaign, was completed 17 days ahead of the 100‑day schedule, beginning in the first quarter of 2026 after the rig finished a prior program. The contract, originally awarded in 2025, underscores BP’s focus on maintaining production in the Caribbean basin while leveraging Valaris’s specialized offshore services. Following the BP job, Valaris will transition to a Shell contract from October 2026 to October 2027, highlighting the rig’s continuous deployment in the region. No advisory or legal firms were disclosed in the announcement.
