Australia: Songa Venus Rig to Arrive to Artemis-1 Next Week
MEO Australia Limited advises that as at 06:00 hours (Perth time) on Wednesday 17th November, the Songa Venus semi-submersible drilling rig had been towed a distance of 181.7 nautical miles or 28.1% of the 646.7 nautical mile journey to the Artemis-1 location.
Assuming the average speed achieved on the journey to date is maintained, the rig is anticipated to arrive at the Artemis-1 location late on Tuesday 23rd November, however the actual tow speed achieved will be a function of the prevailing weather and sea state conditions.
Artemis-1 is anticipated to spud shortly after being anchored on location.
The next weekly progress report is planned for release on November 24th.
