A ceremony was held on Saturday 12 May 2007 in Singapore to name Maersk Contractors’s latest newbuilding drilling rig MAERSK COMPLETER which was honored by Mrs. Monique Desvoyes, with her husband, Mr. Pierre Desvoyes, former Managing Director of Total E&P Borneo B.V.
The new rig is of Baker Pacific Class 375 design which makes it suitable for drilling deep and difficult wells such as high temperature/high pressure wells.
