The Songa Mercur is a semi-submersible drilling rig designed by Friede & Goldman, ex Shelf 10 and La Muralla. It is capable of drilling in water up to a depth of 1,200 feet (370 m).[2][3]
In May 2006, Songa Offshore signed a nine-month contract with Chevron to use the rig in Australia.[4] A contract was later signed with Santos Limited, which was originally nine months and was extended to a year and then a year and a half.[2][5] In 2013, the rig was contracted by Idemitsu Oil and Gas for drilling off Vietnam.[6]
In 2014, Songa Offshore sold the rig to Opus Offshore as a part of the deal creating Songa-Opus joint venture.[7]
