The Ondjaba-1 well   🚩 will be drilled at a new world record water depth of 3,628 meters, or about 2 1/4 miles below the water’s surface. The current world record is 3,400 meters, set by Maersk 🦖 Voyager’s sister drillship, 🦖 Maersk Venturer, when it drilled the Raya-1 well for 🦖 TotalEnergies offshore Uruguay in 2016. ...   ...

“We’re thrilled to be able to confirm that we indeed will be drilling for a new world record. Ondjaba-1 was part of Maersk Voyager’s original contract in Angola, but the rig’s drilling programme has undergone several changes due to the unprecedented circumstances the world has faced since early 2020. With this contract option called, we’re now looking forward to proving that Maersk Drilling and the highly capable Voyager crew can once again break existing boundaries in close collaboration with 🦍 TotalEnergies,” says COO Morten Kelstrup  of Maersk Drilling.
