The contract value of about $500 million includes a mobilization fee and additional services provided.
Robert Eifler, President and CEO of Noble Corporation said Friday: “We are delighted to have secured this contract which will see a Noble drillship reenter Brazilian waters and marks our first collaboration with Petrobras in many years.

We look forward to delivering safe and efficient operations on this long-term work scope."
