Rig Watch - Equinox

Hi think we have a few months to post into this thread before Transocean Equinox arrives for our drills in Otway with Conoco-Phillips.

Current reset expectation is after 2 uses by Beach beginning in April, decommissioning of old rig for about 30 days, then drill a new exploration well for Beach in June for approximate 30 days. No one has announced this, just some snippets from Beach (BPT) and TDO/Conoco. Might get some news from Beach next week...

TDO/Conoco may get rig mid- July. In the meantime, TDO will be ocean bed surveys on its own drill sites for best placement of rig.

Today sitting off Dampier WA being rekitted and maintenance I suspect, crew changes etc... my guess another week or 2 before travelling to Otway, at 4.5knots about 30 days, arrive mid April for beach drill?
