Aker Solutions Wins Riser Deal

Aker Solutions won a contract to supply a further 2,500 feet riser extension to the Dragonquest (formerly Titanium Explorer) rig, which is owned by Valenica Drilling and managed by Vantage Drilling Company. The order comes in addition to the original delivery of a 7,500 feet drilling riser system. The riser joints will be produced by Aker Solutions and delivered to the client in the summer of 2011. Valenica Drilling is a subsidiary of TMT, which has chartered Vantage Drilling Company to manage the Dragonquest rig.
