Yuen said.
“We believe that we can make best use of
our after sales service infrastructure to
service rigs of both the Letourneau as well
as KeppelFels designs. These are popular
designs
operating in many of the world’s offshore
oil fields and rig owners can now utilise
our global network of yards to service and
maintain their rig assets cost-effectively,”
he said.
With about 100 Letourneau rigs currently
operating around the world, many oper-
ators require servicing and repair of their
rigs. Keppel will be able to leverage its
network of yards worldwide to better meet
these customers’ needs. Besides repairs,
upgrades and modifications, jack-ups are
required to undergo five-year class recerti-
fication special periodic surveys.
With the acquisition, Keppel will be able to
offer customers the Letourneau rig designs
through the sale of rig kits to shipyards,
or deliver ready-to-drill rig solutions
from Keppel yards worldwide. The rig kits
include jack-up leg components, elevat-
ing units/jacking system and cantilever/
skidding system. Support equipment such
as cranes and anchor winches are also
options in the rig kits.
The completion of the acquisition is sub-
ject to the fulfilment of certain conditions

from regulatory authorities.§
