Seatrium has successfully delivered a newbuild jackup rig, Var, to Borr Drilling, nearly one year ahead of schedule.

It is the final newbuild rig in a series of five B Class jackup rigs that Seatrium delivered to Borr Drilling.

The first three rigs in this series, novated by Borr Drilling to ADNOC Drilling, were delivered in 2022 and 2023. Seatrium delivered the fourth rig to Borr Drilling in August 2024.

Var is a KFELS Super B Class jackup rig, designed to operate in water depths of up to 400ft and drill to depths of up to 35,000ft.

The rig is equipped to drill deep wells both vertically and horizontally. It features a fully automated high-capacity rack and pinion jacking system, with a cantilever structure that has a maximum combined load of 3,700kips.

The rig has the capacity to accommodate full amenities for up to 150 people.
